VMWare Workstation 10 "Unable to create a VSS snapshot of the source volume(s). Error code: 2147754767 (0x8004230F)"


I received error message when creating P2V in Windows Server 2008 R2.

Solution:

  1. Right-click any local disk on the physical machine that you are going to virtualize.
  2. Select Configure Shadow Copies
  3. Highlight each volumes
  4. Select Settings
  5. Set the Maximum size to No Limit
Note: 

  • If No Limit is already selected, click Use limit and accept the default size. Click OK then OK. Then go back to Settings and Set the Maximum Size to No Limit.
  • When creating P2V (Physical to Virtual), destination folder where the virtual machine is saved should be shared. Grant full access to the account you use to virtualize a physical machine.
