Hi, danielc_

Please post here or attach vmware config (/Users/wah/Documents/Mac OS X Server.vmwarevm).
Also try to migrate disk directly (choose disk image instead config file). In case of error, please generate a problem report and tell me it's number.

Thanks.

Sorry, how to attach vmware config?

Btw , what to u mean by migrate disk directly? i only know in transporter, i choose the .vmwarevm directly to it.

Attach screenshot(sorry in chinese,what it means is "This disk contains errors, and cannot be processed. Please contact parallels support team for help."

Hmmm... vmwarevm is bundle, and I don't remember is it possible to open disk image from within bundle using Parallels Transporter or not. Just ignore this case

We will try to solve your problem without this step.

Please post here output of ls -la "/Users/wah/Documents/Mac OS X Server.vmwarevm"

Possible problem is hieroglyphs within disk name.

yes i suspected this may cause problem. Previous don't want to make big change to the VM due to not having a back up of that, now i will make a copy of it and try to change all the names inside the vm to see if it works. Many thanks!

Try to create symlinks:

cd /Users/wah/Documents
mkdir test_vm && cd test_vm
find "/Users/wah/Documents/Mac OS X Server 10.6 64 位(试验性支持).vmwarevm" -name "Mac OS X Server 10.6 64*.vmdk" | awk -F"<00ef><00bc><0089>" '{print "ln -s \"" $0 "\" \"Mac OS X Server 10.6 64" $2 "\""}' | bash

After that you will have a set of simlinks to original files. Check it:
ls -la

Now you can try to convert image using Parallels Transporter (select /Users/wah/Documents/test_vm/Mac OS X Server 10.6 64.vmdk within Parallels Transporter).

any ideas?

Stuw · May 28, 2010

is it works?
find "/Users/wah/Documents/Mac OS X Server 10.6 64 位(试验性支持).vmwarevm" -name "Mac OS X Server 10.6 64*.vmdk"

and this?
find "/Users/wah/Documents/Mac OS X Server 10.6 64 位(试验性支持).vmwarevm" -name "Mac OS X Server 10.6 64*.vmdk" | awk -F"<00ef><00bc><0089>" '{print "ln -s \"" $0 "\" \"Mac OS X Server 10.6 64" $2 "\""}'

IMPORTANT: all after find (and within 'find') must be in a single line

Other solution is renaming (bundle and all files)

But in this case you will be needed to correct configuration file (.vmx) too.
