Hi Guys,

i have tryed to virtualise a very old physical machine in our firm (SCSI Disks).
But i have big Problems to start it in the virtual enviroment. I have tryed 2 different ways.

First here are one info Screen for you from the physikal machine (seeing the Volumes with fdisk):

The first one:

I have copyed the disks with the command:

dd if=/dev/sda | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/sda.raw"

Then i have one big file. I think those are all the Harddrives from the machine in one .raw Image but i am not Sure.

When i boot the machine i have got the following error after the Boot Option Screen:

The second one:

I have copyed the disks with the command:

dd if=/dev/sda1 | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/vm-111-disk-1.raw"
dd if=/dev/sda2 | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/vm-111-disk-2.raw"
dd if=/dev/sda3 | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/vm-111-disk-3.raw"
dd if=/dev/sda4 | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/vm-111-disk-4.raw"
dd if=/dev/sda5 | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/vm-111-disk-5.raw"

I have mounted the disks like this:

vm-111-disk-1.raw -> ISCSI 0:0
vm-111-disk-2.raw -> ISCSI 0:1
vm-111-disk-3.raw -> ISCSI 0:2
vm-111-disk-4.raw -> ISCSI 0:3
vm-111-disk-5.raw -> ISCSI 0:4


When i boot the machine i have got the following error directly at the beginning:

No i have made a copy from sda and sdb an mounted it on SCSI 0:0 and 0:1
I have made the copy with dd and this command:

dd if=/dev/sda | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/sda.raw"
dd if=/dev/sdb | ssh root@TargetProxmoxHere "cat > /var/lib/vz/images/111/sdb.raw"

But after mounting the raw images i have the same Error like before.
