Hi All
I have been requested to virtualise an HP DL380 G5 running x64 Windows 2008 std.
The server has a local systems disk (C:) and a single lun presented from an MSA2000fc .
This MSA2000 lun has been made dynamic, and has been split into two simple volumes (E: & F:).
I have tried both Hot & Cold cloning, using various versions of Converter (inc V4.0.1) but none of them seem to recognise the MSA2000 lun. They only pick up the local system drive (C:)
I'd be grateful for any advice in solving this problem.
Gordon

Hello Gordon,
AFAIK are dynamic disks not supported. But you can migrate the system to VMware and re-attach the LUN as a raw-device to the VM. Just present the LUN to the VMware ESX Server and do a rescan. After that add a new disk to the guest and select "mapped san lun".
Best regards,
Patrick

Re: VMware converter cannot see MSA2000fc disk.
Thanks Patrick,thats what I'll do as a workaround.
According to what I've read online
dynamic disks seem to be supported in the later versions of converter.In my lab I created a win2008 guest server with dynamic disks, and was able to run the converter against it and it picked up all disks.
cheers
