Storage Migration Service Inventory completed with errors
Hi, I am running Windows Server 2019 Storage Migration Service Server to migrate a Windows Server 2012 R2 Server to Windows Server 2019. The Job, on 3 of my most important shares, says Completed with...
Well I'm about to throw in the towel. I started this huge 4TB 2008 R2 file server migration project about four weeks ago and I'm no further ahead.
- inventory scan fails on some files with vague error messages - checked rights and enabled log path names
- data transfer scan keeps getting stuck - doesn't timeout - spinning bagel for hours & hours - today it's stuck @ 44%
- hesitant to STOP the transfer as last time I did that it auto created a bunch of preexistingdata folders which ended up filling the destination volumes and the data transfer failing due to lack of space - i ended up restarting the entire process only to be stuck AGAIN
There is just no rhyme or reason why it keeps struggling. It worked great on my tiny test server so perhaps this server is just too big not to fail.
Not sure where to go from here.
HI. We've handled much bigger. I really recommend you not try to bang your head here further, open an MS support case. If we find a bug it's a free case, if it's something we can get working we will. Those support folks have access to me through an internal DL as well, you won't be hung out to dry.
- thanks sir, will do
