Hey all!
I did a cluster conversion and Enabled and installed NGT’s on my guest vms and the vm’s will not boot.
I get the error “Unable to find a valid boot device”

The VM’s are UEFI enabled as well.

Hey all!
I did a cluster conversion and Enabled and installed NGT’s on my guest vms and the vm’s will not boot.

Looks like all my VM’s vDisks are missing, I converted a few from UEFI to BIOS to see if that changed anything, but still missing disk.
I see some data in my recycle bin, wonder if when the cluter conversion took place it deleted the vDisks / VMDK’s on the conversion.
Does anyone know where i could check for the vm’s vdisks and can i add existing disks?
Is this a production cluster or CE?
In case of production involve support.
In case of CE can you show a screenshot of the vm settings? (including disks)
Its a POC Prod cluter, I was giving the green light to deploy the cluster with foundation, everything was perfect and built out VCSA, all ESXi hosts, networking (VSS & VDS (little did i know you can only have one sw for conversion) and worked with support as well. I enabled and installed NGT’s on half of my test vm’s I had build NODE01-10 and NODE11-20 I left w/ none install or enable to see if they would boot on the other side. The convert VM task in the events was completed with no errors and support and I agreed the VDISK just were nuked in the conversion. I had noticed early that all vms converted in the process to AHV had no vdisks and support and I review all storage containers and no luck. It was just a POC, but ya i think Move will have to be the way in the future haha.
Thanks !!
Lol.; ) Yes, MOVE is your friend in this case .
I hope the “upgrade” to AHV goes smooth on the production cluster with MOVE. (tip, start with a three node cluster and then do 1 node at the time (shrink → expand))
Awesome Thanks !!
