Environment
PlateSpin Migrate 11.x
Situation
This issue occurs when preforming a X2P when the source is UEFI, the job fails at partitioning target disk:
| Exception caught in Controller.Execution.Action.run() | |
| System.InvalidOperationException: Operation is not valid due to the current state of the object at System.Linq.Enumerable.Single[<>f__AnonymousType2`3] (IEnumerable`1 source, System.Func`2 predicate, Fallback fallback) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at System.Linq.Enumerable.Single[<>f__AnonymousType2`3] (IEnumerable`1 source, System.Func`2 predicate) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0 at |
Resolution
Make sure boot mode and partition type is match on the target:
UEFI - GPT
BIOS - MBR
You can check and change partition type using tools included in PlateSpin ISO:
1. to check partition type: parted >> print
2. to change partition type: parted >> mkpart
Note: parted is a partitioning tools to manipulate both MBR and GPT disks
Cause
Target disk type was deployed wrong. Target was booted up with UEFI mode, but disk partition table showing MBR. Here is example from a diagnostic report - original target machine:
<q2:components>
<q2:component xsi:type="q2:DiskDrive">
<q2:manufacturer>HP</q2:manufacturer>
<q2:model>LOGICAL VOLUME</q2:model>
<q2:size>299966445568</q2:size>
<q2:type>SCSI</q2:type>
<q2:partitionTableType>MBR</q2:partitionTableType>
<q2:partitions/>

<q2:bootMode>UEFI</q2:bootMode>
