Hi everyone,
I have SmartDeploy 2.0.3005 installed on a Windows 7 Pro 64-bit system. I have two reference images, two captured images and a few platform packs. I can edit my reference images with no problems in VMware player and then capture my changes with the SmartDeploy wizard to create a new image for deployment.
I would like to move everything to a new computer. The new computer has Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit installed. I installed SmartDeploy successfully. Then I copied the content from the old computer’s SmartDeploy folders (images, reference machines and platform packs) to the new computer. After I copied the data, I imported the content from each folder within SmartDeploy successfully. To that point, all worked well. But when I try to capture an image with the wizard, I get the error message “Unable to mount the virtual volume”. After trying it about 10 times, I get the error “Device not ready” but then the virtual disk volumes are listed.
I also noticed after copying over the virtual reference machines, that VMware player gives me an error as well “Error while powering on: The operation was canceled by the user”. Strangely, when I keep trying to power it on (15 to 20 times), it will eventually power on.
Did anyone run into the same or similar problems?
Maybe the way how I moved everything over to the new computer was not the proper way, is there a “better” or “proper” way?
Thank you for your help!
Tim
