Results are in...

Four VMs migrated. Three using warm migration and all worked. 4th used straight migration and BSOD but worked after a reboot.

Thanks Oliver. We have used GFS with Veeam previously and will be a great addition.

@BenjiReis

Worked perfectly. Thanks guys.

Thanks Oliver, lots to learn.

p.s. Congrats on the 8.3 launch.

We have a simplified process now.

• Shutdown VM in Hyper-V
• Convert VHDX to VHD using PowerShell
• Move VHD to xcp-ng using SSH
• Generate new name using uuidgen
• Rename VHD
• Create VM in XO and attach VHD

After much trial and error this works every time.

Is there any way to paste from the console?

We have long passwords for Windows and these need to be typed manually to obtain console access which is a real pain.

Tried many times without success.

1. Exported vhdx from Hyper-V
2. Converted to VHD (Tried Powershell & StarWind)
3. Changed name to UUID name
4. Scan of disk fails

What am I missing?
