VMware to XenServer: Server 2003 R2
-
I just looked at an old 2003 server,
under View > Show Hidden Devices. -
These are the HDD controller settings, nothing special. I could try and take it down to a basic IDE controller, but I don't know how much that's going to help.
-
@Coloradogeek I would try the basic controller. The issue is that the system is looking for a raid controller that isn't there.
So it's worth a shot. Of course have a backup to go back.
-
Take that back, just found an LSI logic SCSI controller further down. Never occurred to me to check for it since I didn't ever install one...
-
please also post a copy of your boot.ini
-
Can't remove the LSI Logic Parallel. It's what VMware is using to talk to the disk apparently. I did change the IDE stuff to basic, but I can't get rid of the LSI.
-
Did you try/run the XS boot repair ISO?
-
When I moved to XS none of my 2003 servers would boot without running the repair stuff.

@Coloradogeek did you ever get this fixed?
