dracut Error after converting .vmdk to .qcow2

[Guillaume Soucy]

Hello,

I need to convert an .vmdk image to .qcow2 to be able to use it with Proxmox but unfortunately when it boot it throw out an dracut error in the console.



On this help forum, I found this: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/import-vmware-centos-7-machine.42565/

but typing modprobe virtio_scsi give that error:



First, I try to convert the .vmdk to .qcow2 following this tutorial: http://www.binaryheartbeat.net/2016/05/importing-ova-container-into-proxmox.html

Then I recreate the VM but using the two provided . vmdk files. In both case, I've got the same dracut error. It also say that a disk is not existing.

The image provider (StorageMadeEasy) will not be able to provide help as it is their community edition offered as is.

The OS is CentOS 7 and this is the details about the Guest VM:



If more information or details are required, please feel free to ask.

I will appreciate if someone could help me with this.

Best regards,

Guillaume

When the machine boots,do you have recovery mode, if this is centos7?

 

[Guillaume Soucy]

Yes, it prompt for recovery mode and the OS.

Then go into the recovery mode and type: dracut -f --regenerate-all ,and then restart and try regular boot.

Hello,

The console is returning sh: dracut: command not found

Hm,there are alot of io errors, is this disk okay?

 

[Guillaume Soucy]

All the other VMs are running just fine, so I think yes.

Mount the VM with some live disc and repair the filesystem:

Ok I will try this but it is strange because I did not touch the .vmdk images in any way. It is possible they are already corrupted and it is not related to me?
