Migrating from Hyper-V to VergeIO

If you want to migrate a VM from Hyper-V to VergeIO, there are some steps you need to follow. Aaron Reed, a Solutions Architect at VergeIO, walks us through the steps to migrate a VM from Hyper-V to VergeIO.

Prepping the Hyper-V VM

Before moving the Hyper-V VM to VergeIO, it's important to log into Hyper-V to verify the VM settings. The RAM, CPU, disk, networking, and any other important settings should be checked. Once the settings are verified, shut down the VM and Hyper-V. This ensures that you have a clean, consistent copy when you move the Hyper-V VM disks over to VergeIO.

Copying the Hyper-V VM Disks to VergeIO

After shutting down the VM, the next step is to copy the Hyper-V VM disks to VergeIO. This can be done by copying the VHD or VHDX disks into the VergeIO media image repository. This is a simple process of copying the disk through the VergeIO interface from a mapped drive from your Hyper-V environment.

Creating a New VergeIO VM

Finally, you will create a new VergeIO VM using the imported Hyper-V VM disks. Start by creating the VM in VergeIO, then assign and import the Hyper-V disk to the new VM. VergeIO automatically does this in the interface. Then set up and assign the network game, start the new virtual oVM, and confirm that the VM is up and running.

Steps to Migrate a VM from Hyper-V to VergeIO:

1. Prep the Hyper-V VM: Verify the VM settings, shut down the VM and Hyper-V.
2. Copy the Hyper-V VM disks to VergeIO: Copy the VHD or VHDX disks into the VergeIO media image repository.
3. Create a New VergeIO VM: Create the VM in VergeIO, assign and import the Hyper-V disk to the new VM, set up and assign the network game, start the new virtual oVM, and confirm that the VM is up and running.

The Truth in IT

In conclusion, migrating a VM from Hyper-V to VergeIO can be a simple process if you follow these steps. Ensure that you verify the settings of the Hyper-V VM, shut it down before copying, and create a new VergeIO VM with the imported Hyper-V VM disks. By doing so, you will have a clean, consistent copy that is up and running in VergeIO.
