How to fix VMware Converter error “FAILED: The VSS snapshots cannot be stored”
While moving some VM’s from Hyper-V to VMware using VMware Converter a VM failed to convert with the error: FAILED: The VSS snapshots cannot be stored.
FAILED: The VSS snapshots cannot be stored because there is not enough space on the source volumes or because the source machine does not have any NTFS volumes. Error code: 2147754783 (0x8004231F).
Come to find out the System Reserved partition was full. Our soon to be retired Appassure backup application was nice enough to fill up the volume.
Luckily Appassure is being replaced by Veeam and fixing the above VMware Converter error is an easy fix.

vSphere 5.1 Release Date leaked, maybe?
Looks like Sammy Bogaert over at Boerlowie’s Blog has possibly found the release date of vSphere 5.1… maybe?
I was about to download vSphere Update Manager PowerCLI 5.0.
I followed the main site and wanted to check the documentation first. So I clicked the Documentation button.
This lead me to the Docs of Update Manager PowerCLI 5.1! That’s right, 5.1! With a release date of 10 September 2012.
None of the links for 5.1 work, so no news on any new features…
Guess somebody at VMware was a bit too fast to update the website
Nice find Sammy, guess time will tell if the Sept. 10th date is the actual release date or not.
