Question : unable to start unisys storage manager service after P2V of physical machine

I am trying to create a virtual server using VMware Converter of the C drive of a Unisys Archive server.  I did the P2V, created new data drives with Netapp Snapdrive and copied the data with robocopy.  After all data was copied, I tried to start the unisys storage manager service.  It would not start.  It needed the DIRINFO file in the last archive folder.  Everytime I copy it there, the attempt to start the storage manager service deletes it.  Anyone have any information on this?

Answer : unable to start unisys storage manager service after P2V of physical machine

Hi,

I tried writing a generic function - GetData and passing the generic parameters. It may not be exact code, but it works. I hope it helps.

Cheers ...

        string returnItems = GetData("City", "", "<FieldRef Name='Title' /><FieldRef Name='Country' />", "zones.aspx?ZoneID=", "ows_ID");
        Response.Write(returnItems);
    }

    private string GetData(string thelistName, string strQuery, string strViewFields, string aspx, string idColumn)

        Lists.Lists myListservice = new Lists.Lists();

        //Maybe we can create views in sharepoint that are specifically used for our web app?

        viewFields.InnerXml = strViewFields; // "<FieldRef Name=\"Title\" /><FieldRef Name=\"Zone_x0020_Number\" />";
        queryOptions.InnerXml = "";
