I have been trying to use the writables migration tool. When i try to Import-Module C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\AppCapture\VMware.Writable.dll, I am getting an error that specified module was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory.

Any help would be appreciated.

On app vols 2.18.x we have custom template sizes for our appstacks, when we run these through the migration tool the migrated apps come out at the default 20gb size. Is there a way to retain the existing sizes or specify a size?

I've already created new templates for new packages but the issue is that we use a replication server in-between 2 environments and when the migrated apps land on the replication server they take up 20gb of storage. We currently only use 110gb around 40 apps but to migrate 40 apps would mean an increase of 800gb to accommodate them.

Any assistance would be appreciated

Hi,

As of today, tool creates a default volume of size 20GB only.

I've migrated a number of Appstacks quite happily, but one is failing. It is 40GB. I have increased the template VHD size to 100GB and can see that the vhd that gets created and attached is 100GB. However, the vmdk that gets created bombs out at 20GB. How can I configure the AppV migration utility to create a vmdk larger than 20GB?

Hello,

Can you share the AppMigrate and AppCapture log file?

Thanks,
-Mani.

Hello everyone,

we migrated our AppVol from 2.16 -> 2.18 and now to the latest 4 Version. Regarding this we began to migrate the Appstacks.

We got in total 13 and it seems 4 cannot be migrated.

It is one Appstack with about 20gb(SolidWorks) and the others have only about 1-2 GB.

I will add some of the Logs regarding two Apps:

Hello,

Are you trying migration on a VM without any other software like Antivirus, Encryption etc. If not, can you share more details on other software installed on the migration VM?

Thanks,
-Mani.
