This topic describes the cause of the "S5_* An error occurred in the configurations of the destination disk partition." error message that is reported when you use Server Migration Center (SMC) to run a migration job. This topic also describes how to resolve the error.

Problem description

During an SMC migration job, the "S5_* An error occurred in the configurations of the destination disk partition." error message is reported. The following S5_* error codes may be reported:

S5_204
S5_205
S5_206
S5_207
S5_U28
S5_U7
S5_U56
S5_U6

Cause

An error occurs when you specify the system configurations of the destination disk by using the SMC client of the source server. The following list describes the possible causes of different error codes:

S5_204: The GRand Unified Bootloader (GRUB) configurations generated by using GRUB 2 are invalid.
S5_205: An exception occurs when you install GRUB 2.
S5_206: An exception occurs when you install GRUB Legacy.
S5_207: The current version of GRUB cannot be installed.
S5_U28, S5_U7, S5_U56, and S5_U6:
- An exception occurs on port 8080 that is used by the intermediate service of the destination instance.
- The source server cannot access the IP address of the destination instance by using port 8080.

Solution

Resolve the error based on the error code.

S5_204, S5_205, S5_206, and S5_207
Run the grub-install --version or grub2-install --version command to check the GRUB version.
- If 0.97 is returned, GRUB Legacy is used.
  - S5_206
    - Install GRUB V2.12 or later on your Linux server. Run the ./go2aliyun_client --rerun --forcesync command in the installation directory of the SMC client and perform the migration again. For more information, see Install GRUB in a Linux server and the View the SMC client section of the "View and run the SMC client" topic.
    - Contact technical support.
- If 2.x is returned, GRUB 2 is used.
  - S5_204 and S5_205: Contact technical support.
  - S5_207
    - Install GRUB V2.12 or later on your Linux server. Run the ./go2aliyun_client --rerun --forcesync command in the installation directory of the SMC client and perform the migration again. For more information, see Install GRUB in a Linux server and the View the SMC client section of the "View and run the SMC client" topic.
