converting vdi to vmdk with LUKS passphrase

By Michael Oliver -

Looking to transition from VirtualBox to VMWare and am running into an issue with the conversion. ?The virtual box vdi is running CentOS 5 x64 and was encrypted with LUKS. ?When I run the convert command:


VBoxManage clonehd hd1.vdi hd1.vmdk --format VMDK


I am able to successfully create the new vmdk file and subsequently load it into a new virtual machine using VMWare Workstation 8. ?The machine boots past GRUB but will not accept my password when I am presented with the prompt:

Enter LUKS passphrase for /dev/sda2:

Should I be able to convert a LUKS encrypted disk? ?Is there a special flag I need to use when converting? ?Thanks.
