IllegalServiceError: Service 'vpxd-svcs' does not exist.^M
Cause
This happens in case the service-control file on the source vcenter machine is corrupt or blank

If you run the service-control command it will either give a traceback or no output at all
Impact / Risks
pre checks fails stating IllegalServiceError: Service 'vpxd-svcs' does not exist.
Resolution
Replace the service-control file from a working environment (lab) on the source vCenter
Test if the service-control --status --all gives expected output

Cloning and converting virtual machine disks with vmkfstools

 Purpose This article provides information and instructions on the use of the vmkfstools command to convert virtual machine disks from one type to another. Resolution The vmkfstools command offers the ability to clone virtual machine content and also convert from one virtual machine disk ( .vmdk ) format into another. Note : The host operating system chosen to perform the conversion may not necessarily support running of virtual machines via the output format defined. vmkfstools maintains the possibility of exporting virtual disks for use in other VMware products which support alternative disk formats. To convert a virtual machine disk from one type to another: Shut down the virtual machine. Virtual machine disk files are locked while in-use by a running virtual machine. Log in to the VMware vSphere Management Assistant (v...
