How to Move a Virtual Machine from Hyper-V to ProxmoxVE

hello everybody watch this video to find out how to move a virtual machine from hyper-v to proxmox V hypervisor [Music] nowadays virtualization has become an integral part of it infrastructure and many companies use all kinds of hypervisors to launch their apps and services sometimes users may need to move a virtual machine from one hypervisor to another in this case if you have a virtual machine working in hyper-v and you would like to transfer it to proxmox you may need additional information about how to do it properly in today's video we will explore the steps you need to take to move a virtual machine successfully from hyper-v to proxbox well there can be a few reasons to make you want to transfer a virtual machine from hyper-v to proxmox First transition to a different virtualization platform if you have a virtual machine which you would like to run on a different virtualization platform you may have to transfer the machine to that platform the second reason is better performance if you notice that your Virtual Machine Works slowly or not too effectively on hyper-v moving it to proxmox May improve the situation the third reason is software update if you are planning to update your wrong smokes a high Barry you may need to transfer the virtual machine to a new platform the fourth reason is a server failure if one of the servers where the virtual machine is running suddenly breaks down moving it to another server might be required to make sure that your work continues without any downtime in any of the cases I have listed moving a virtual machine elsewhere could be the step you are required to take to preserve the system operability the Euphoria take any actions affecting your virtual machine we strongly recommend creating a backup so that you don't lose any important data creating a virtual machine backup before it is moved to a new platform in this specific case it's proxbox is extremely important you need this backup so that you can always revert changes in case something goes wrong with the migration process also creating a backup gives you a chance to see that the virtual machine works properly before this machine is moved elsewhere if the virtual machine encounters certain issues after the migration you can always go back to the backup file and try to fix the problem besides creating a backup is a good virtualization practice because it helps you to prevent data loss and possible system damage in case of any system failures or user errors to create such a file you can use the tools for scheduling automatic backup to create a backup in hyper-week just export the virtual machine after that you will need to import a machine in order to restore it need to recover deleted data view restore removed browsing history admon software products will help you follow the link in the description download the necessary program for free install it and analyze the disk the utility will show you the data you can recover so you'll be able to view it or get it back in our Channel and blog you will find solutions to any problem from installing an operating system or configuring it to fix impossible bugs and errors or optimized in Mobile gadgets our Specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments under the videos or articles here is what you have to do if you want to move a virtual machine before you start moving a virtual machine from hyper-v to proxmox you need to make sure it is stopped choose a virtual machine to move and stop it if it's running [Music] add the next step after the virtual machine is stopped you should create its image and this is how you do it open hyperview manager and choose the virtual machine you'd like to know right click on it and select export after that select a direct group by to save the virtual machine image and choose required export options then click export and wait for the process to finish the third step is to move the virtual machine image to proxmox for this purpose you can use any FTP client connect to the proxbox server by FTP and upload the exported virtual machine file [Music] thank you [Music] now you should create a new virtual machine in proxmox to do it open the browser to access the hypervisor control create a new machine by clicking on create VM give all its properties foreign [Music] [Music] move the existing disk and import a new one open the new virtual machine settings jump to the hardware tab select the hard disk and click on the detach button when the disk is detached you can remove it the corresponding button appears here click remove [Music] now you need to convert the virtual machine file into the format we just supported by proxmox hypervisor you can choose between using a utility like Star wind v2v converter or using package Manager Tools in Linux I'll show you how to convert PhD into an IMG file and to import it into a virtual machine for starters let's install the command prompt utility called vhd to IMG this utility can be installed to boxmox with standard package managers in Linux here are the steps you should take to install the LED to IMG in proxmos open shell in proxmox and run the command foreign with this command check if PhD to IMG utility is installed using another command if this command runs successfully the utility is installed and ready to use now use one more command to convert the virtual machine file at the beginning you have the virtual machine file format the HDX foreign they are followed by the path to the conversion file after conversion the resulting file should be imported into proxmox [Music] to import a disk use this command it contains the virtual machine ID the path to the IMG file then the storage directory these two lets you convert files into the IMG format which is also supported by proxmox [Music] foreign open the virtual machine settings in proxmox hypervisor choose hardware and you will see a new disk which is unused click edit and then add in the new window that opens now that the disk is added start the virtual machine foreign as you can see it runs properly [Music] moving a virtual machine from hyperweek proxmox can be a challenging task but with the right kind of planning and preparation it can be as seamless as possible for starters you need to understand the differences between Highbury and proximox and make sure that your virtual machine is supported by the new platform after that create a virtual machine backup and prepare the new proxmox server for importing the virtual machine in the course of transferring the machine make sure that all of the settings have been correctly moved to the new platform after the transition process is over check if the machine works properly if any issues arise you can use the backup to revert the machine to its previous state finally it should be noted that moving virtual machine is a complicated process so if you have any doubts or you lack confidence in your skills it's better to contact professionals or study manuals and tutorials more closely and if you lost any data from a virtual machine you use the proper tool to bring it back Hackman raid recovery you it will help you withdraw lost files from virtual disks this program supports all popular hypervisors including hyper-v and boxmox you can learn more about data recovery from virtual machines if you
