volume or performing a "chkdsk /f" prior to the migration may resolve

this condition.

Cause

This message appears when Insight Control server migration cannot process the NTFS meta
information for this volume, and the volume cannot be resized during migration.

Suggested action

Do not resize the volume. Instead, perform a disk defragmentation or run CHKKDSK /F to resolve
the issue. However, performing a successful defragmentation and disk check does not guarantee
the ability to resize. In this case, the volume can only be migrated without resizing.

ReiserFS volumes are blocked for Linux migration

A ReiserFS might be blocked during migration.

Cause

Any Linux partitions that are not yet written to the disk will be detected by server migration as RAW
in step 2 of the migration wizard.

Suggested action

Reboot the source server to force the partitions to be written. Alternatively, perform the following
steps:

1.

Execute the following command on the source server and note the output:

cat /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

2.

Execute the following commands on the source server:

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

echo > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

Filesystem on source disk \\.\PhysicalDrive0, Partition 0 could not be resized during
the migration

The migration might fail with the following error: The file system on source disk
\\.\PhysicalDrive0, partition 0 could not be resized during the migration

in the logs.

Cause

One reason for the error could be that the migration wizard changes the Minimum Destination
Size and Destination Size fields to display 1 MB more than the Source Size field, even though a
disk resize was not selected in the migration wizard. This selection occurs during the "Specify
destination disks and Resize NTFS partitions" step of the migration wizard process.

Suggested action

Try the following:

1.

During the Specify destination disks and Resize NTFS partitions step of the migration wizard
process, in the Assign Disks and Resize NTFS Volumes table, modify the disk size in the
Destination Size field to match the value shown in the Source Size field.

NOTE:

After you modify the Destination Size field to match the Source Size field, the Minimum

Destination Size field will display 1 MB more than the Minimum Destination field.

2.

Complete the rest of the steps to finish the migration process. The migration will successfully
finish.
