Hi to anyone reading this blog. Yes, it has been a while since I have posted, but I was moving and didn't really have anything to write about.
That being said, Peter and I were performing a physical to virtual server migration at a business in Boise, and we ran into a problem. When we created virtual machines out of the physical Windows 2003 servers, they would keep rebooting when we started them in normal mode. We tried installing some special VMWare drivers for SCSI drives as some of the online tech help suggested, but that didn't solve our problem.
Finally, we looked through the logs on the 2003 server and discovered an error with the service "Uninterruptible Power Supply" that was sending a shutdown signal to Windows 2003 server, not the virtual machine. After disabling that service, the VM worked just fine. We disable that service before conversion on the other machines and everything went smoothly.
I hope this helps someone out there with the same problem...
Jon
