Hello Everyone,
I need to do a complex migration of either a guest VM as a whole or as individual files with a dump and load of a progress database-based ERP system.
The old host is an Amd Opteron 8 Core 16 GB ram single Socket CPU with a RAID 10 array of 8x 500 GB SATA Disks. It is running Centos 6.10 as a base OS using OpenVZ as the VM technology. Kernel version is 2.6.32-042stab142.1 x86_64
The VM "bowser" is running CentOS 6.8, it's allocated all 8 Cores, 4 GB of ram, and 120 GB of thick provisioned space. This VM is running kernel 2.6.32-042stab142.1 i686/i386 - 32 bit OS.
The new host has Dual Xeon Silver CPU's 256 GB ram, and a RAID 6 setup w/ 13.96 TB of total available storage of SSD drives.
I've followed the instructions here:
https://communities.vmware.com/message/1719787#1719787
and here: http://gurutek.biz/migrating-from-proxmoxopenvz-to-esxesxivmware-server-part...
I am at the point where I have a .vmdk file created, and I've imported the machine into vmware, but the machine is not booting. The bios vmware simply says no operating system found. I can boot from a rescue disk, then mount the old hard drive, and I can see files from the old VM. I was able to chroot into the filesystem of the old system, and I was able to get the network card communicating and online.
After chrooting into the base of the old filesystem, when I try to use yum to install a kernel and run yum updates, I have an issue where the system is trying to install the i686 and x86_64 versions of RPM's that conflict with each other , and they don't work because of cross dependencies.
librt.so.1 is needed by (installed) libdrm-2.4.65-2.el6.i686, and many packages repeat for librt.so.1, libutil.so.1, libgmp.so.3, libgmpxx.so.4, liblber-2.4.so.2, libacl.so.1
I've tried the suggestion of running rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest, which completes but does not fix the files.
Has anyone run into this i686 / x86_64 dual package conflicting issue before? Any suggestions?
