Problem converting P2V when physical disk is beyond 64TB

[yaroslav (staff)]

Hi,

We are still working on the next build. Will keep you posted.

[yaroslav (staff)]

I've just PMed you the build.

Sorry Yaroslav, but I cannot find it this time on my PM Inbox

Hi,

Have just resent that link.

Hi,

Have just resent that link.

Thanks Yaroslav. I got it and I'm already testing it. The results for now are the following:

W2012R2 (HP): I succeeded creating a valid and mountable VHDX from an small test partition that belongs to a 75TB RAID6 Physical Disk. With that I have just started the same for a deduplicated 16TB partition. It'll take more than 24 hours to complete and I will let you know.

W2016 (Dell 1): I tested an empty 8TB partition that belongs to a 105TB RAID6 and it didn't work. It created the VHDX that could be mounted, but the mounting result was four not one partition with strange sizes and formats not readable. I don't want to test further this machine for now, I will test on the new similar machine (Dell 2) and will let you know as well, but this second one won't be ready for the test until mid next week.

Thanks,
Manuel F.

Thanks for the update. Please keep me posted. Also, if the conversion does not go for some reason or there is any other trouble, collect the logs and share them here.

It's taking much longer than expected (3 or 4 times that of Disk2VHD) using just 0.3 Gbps. The size looks good for now and seems it's not re-hydrating the deduplicated data. But the slow speed if maintained, would be a problem for me.

Hi,

Please keep me posted.
We are working also on accelerating the conversion process.

Hi Yaroslav

After 5 days, it finished again with no errors but this time the VHDX had again not one (like in the successful small partition K: I did for testing) but several partitions, and none of them valid NTFS replica of the original F: (seen in the first screenshot).

Let me know what we can do

Hi,

We are investigating this incident.

Hi,

Can I have the last conversion log, please? Also, are you using 4k disks?

[mfuentes]

Hi,
If you mean the block size it's the Windows formatting default for an under-16TB partition (F:)
Here is the truncated log. I didn't mention it because there's nothing relevant in those 5 days.

Thank you,
Manuel

Thank you.
We are working on a build that should address this.

[yaroslav (staff)]

Hi,

Here is the build that should convert it https://starwind.my.salesforce.com/sfc/ ... NkwKcjjGmU. Keep me posted.

Thanks Yaroslav,
It'll take some days, but for now I can say it looks faster.
