We're going to need a bit more information about the hardware
in the physical server, like what 'RAID 0' means - hardware RAID?
What precise RAID controller hardware?

My other advice would be to log in to the virt-p2v shell (it's
on one of the other consoles, like Alt+Ctrl+F2) and run 'dmesg'
to see what hardware the virt-p2v kernel is seeing.  If possible,
copy 'dmesg' off and post that.

Note I don't care about the conversion server - it is unlikely
to be the problem.

Rich.

Hello Richard,

Thanks a lot for your time and response. Please find the requested details
attached.

RAID-0 is the software raid level which we have configured on the HP BL
Gen8 server. (While creating 1 Logical drive out of 2 physical drives  )

Best,
Shree.

Minor Correction,

Yes, we are using Hardware RAID-0, which uses HP Smart Array P220i
Controller.

Thanks,
