The following is a quick guide to migrating an OpenSuse Linux VMs on VMWare Workstation to Hyper-V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Create snapshot (as a backup in case something goes wrong)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Remove VMWare Tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. add dracut Config:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \/etc\/dracut.conf.d\/00-custom.conf <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    and add the following line. Do not forget the spaces before and after the modules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    add_drivers+=\" hv_vmbus hv_storvsc hv_netvsc hv_utils hv_balloon hyperv-keyboard hyperv_fb hid-hyperv \"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    recreate initrd<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    mkinitrd<\/code><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    test loading of hyper-v modules<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    lsinitrd |grep ko|grep hv<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Export<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Export VM to OVF file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Download, install and run starwind V2V Converter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Source: local file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Select VMDK file<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Set destination (in this case Hyper-V server<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Enter host name, if necessary user name, password<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    7. Create new VM\n
        \n
      • Enter name<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Select path where VM should be stored in a subfolder (VM name)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Set CPU, RAM<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Select G1 (if source is not a UEFI system)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Select network connection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Select VHDX growable image<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Confirm destination and start conversion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        If the original VM has several virtual HDs, the process must be repeated for each additional HD, but then the VM already created on the Hyper-V host must be selected and a new VM must not be created in each case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        If an error message about the non-existent restore image appears during booting, this must be removed in the boot loader and, if necessary, created again later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
