Import to 8.2.1 from ESXi 6.7 Fails
-
I imported a stopped VM from ESXi 6.7 and the import completed successfully, but the imported VM won't boot.
The VM is an AlmaLinux 9 with two NICs. The VM has a single HDD, partitioned with LVM.
Starting the VM seems OK until "Starting dracut initqueue hook." From here it enumerates the physical disk devices and hangs for along time.
It tries to boot multiple times finally ending by dropping to
Starting Dracut Emergency Shell
Warning: /dev/almalinux/root does not exist
Warning: /dev/almalinux/swap does not exist
Warning: /dev/mapper/almalinux-root does not existGenerating "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt"
I am unable to copy the log information and while I can cat the rdsosreport.txt file I am unable to save it to my computer.
What have I done incorrectly?
Thank you,
Darren
