Re: V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

Deduction only works when the provided data is sane enough to make such assumptions. What is provided does not fit that criteria. As to running multiple parallels, one per disk. That's incredibly archaic, to be honest. Why is it that the GUI handles a VM with multiple source disks, but the cli cannn...

Re: V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

May I wonder what exactly is confusing you? It's mora about typing tht paths right. Try converting an individual disk. https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-help/CommandLineInterface.html This doc, while somewhat helpful, is just strung together like copy/paste from code. There's not even a sample h...

Re: V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

No, I did not. The instructions for CLI are so ridiculously vague and hard to read, I'm not going to mess with that as most all of our VMs have multiple disks. If it doesn't work in GUI, then we'll just use another option.

Re: V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

I have tried, but the help file on that isn't very helpful and the online page for it is also difficult to understand. I've read several threads where users have reported similar issues with trying to understand the command line structure. Most of our Vms have multiple disks and they're online, so I...

Re: V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

For real local disks or iSCSI attached disks, yes, that's true. However, it does not show drive letters if they are UNC/CIFS shares mapped. It also seems to ignore and not display directoy symlinks. Please ask your colleague to verify this by mapping a drive letter to a cifs share then trying to use...

Re: V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

The user does have full rights as I'm running it as me. What I'm saying is the V2V UI does not give you the option to type in the UNC path in the path, nor will it show you the mounted drive Z:\ if I mounted as the system or even as myself. It also intentionally ignores mklink /d made directory link...

V2V: VMware To HyperV - Target CIFS Share

I'm using the V2V_Converter.exe (v9.0.1.509) to test migrate some VMs from ESXi to HyperV. Our HyperV cluster is using all CIFS shares for our Vms and not iSCSI CSVs, etc. The target HyperV hosts do not have very large local drives on them either. I don't seem to be able to point to a CIFS share wit...
