Ok, no problem. I also tried with 7.1.3 before, so all is prepped for
testing that again with deactivated CM services. And you're right, of
course I've got a snapshot to restart this. Doing so is a good idea when
you're probing the combinatorial explosion of possible upgrade paths.

Might try that as well. BTW, did you use a specific OVF to build your VM?
I just used the OVF Cisco publishes for 8.6(2a) as that was my intended
target anyway, but I'm not sure that was a good idea. Maybe all the dead
ends I found where upgrades from 6.1.x to 8.x cannot deal with the disks
are due to a too modern driver selection that isn't expected in those
old versions when they (unsupportedly) run on VMware. Might even try an
emulated IDE drive...

Thanks,
Andre.
