Hi.
I'm in a bit of a pickle.
My Proxmox experience is not the highest. But i have many years in VMware, Hyper-V, TrueNAS and some in Nutanix.
I have a VMware server (Standalone) with some VM's, that i want to migrate to Proxmox (Standalone).
- I did a fresh install of Proxmox, created 2 ZFS'sm one with SAS and one with SATA drives.
- Applied license key (Community edition).
- Run updates on Proxmox.
- Connect the Proxmox to VMware using "Datacenter" "Storage" and added VMware ESXi connection.
- Proxmox and VMware is on the same subnet.
- The Servers that I'm migrating is a Windows Server 2016.
- Proxmox guest tools and drivers installed.
So now i have the VMware option on the Proxmox server (As I have done in other migrations).
I do the migation using the option in Proxmox, copy is OK.
Then i try to start the VM, it does the "Loading screen", until "Inaccessable Boot Device" and reboot.
Then i changed thru all the SCSI Controller options, and i found that the "MegaRaid" can boot just fine.
So I think "SUCCESS", boot the VM, set IP. But many services wound start.
The installation goes from running smooth, to buggy within 10-15 minuttes.
I get a log of NTFS and disk errors in the eventlog.
So I run a chkcsk, and reboot. But the chkdsk faila at 2%, I try skipping the check, and now the VM fails with "bad system config info".
I drop this migration, and i delete the VM.
I go to to the original VM on VMware, and do a full checkdisk, sfc, dism and so on. All is fine.
Check eventlogs, and things are all OK.
New migration, same result.
So i create a new VM only for testing, Windows Server 2019 (Not 2016, as the original machine).
And it has the same issues, I tried some of the same debugging.
I had a colleauge take a look at it, and we tried using some other debugging, and a lot of other steps, to many to write here.
So now I'm at a bit of a loss, and needs some input.
Proxmox: 9.2.3 (Fully updated).
VMware ESXi: 6.5.0 Update 1 (Build 5969303)
