We move further by P2V test to V2V (Vmware to Hyper-V Conversion) test. MVMC 3.0 support conversion of virtual machine from
- Vmware vSphere 5.5, 5.1 and 4.1
- Vcenter 5.5,5.1 and 4.1
Before conversion, make sure the guest operating system on VMware is running
- Windows Server 2012 R2
- Windows Server 2012
- Windows Server 2008 R2 with SP1
- Windows Vista (Ent)
- Windows 7 (Ultimate, Professional, Ent)
- Windows 8 (Pro, Ent)
- Windows 8.1 (Pro, Ent)
- Red Hat 5, 6
- Ubuntu 12.04, 10.04
- Suse Linux Ent 11
- Centos 5, 6
- Debian 7
- Oracle Linux 5, 6
You can perform online or offline VM conversion. Just remember this following tips
- perform online conversion – Uninstall Vmware before conversion
- perform offline conversion – Uninstall Vmware tool after conversion
Let have a quick look on the screenshot:
- Select V2V
- Select Migrate to Hyper-V
- Enter destination Hyper-V
- Enter final path to store virtual disk, virtual disk type and format
- Enter Vmware Vcenter or ESX Host
- Select Vmware virtual machine that you would like to V2V
- Enter the state of the VM after conversion
- Enter a temporary location to hold virtual disk during conversion
That’sall for today. We will show how to migrate Vmware VM to Microsoft Azure in our next article. Stay Tuned.
