Error Opening Image - Hyper-V on SMB Share

Hi,

i think there is a Problem converting a Hyper-V VM when it resides on a SMB Share. The GUI only shows Error Opening Image, but the log gives a hint: At the line sFilename there is the Path \\localhost\\smbserver\vmdir\vmdisk.vhdx. I think the appended "\\localhost\" ist the reason why it cant get the vhdx from Hyper-V. The Application did run on the Hyper-V Host directly so it is localhost in the log:

Welcome to StarWind Forum. Did the conversion work when you type the server name and log in there instead of using localhost?

Hi yaroslav,

thank you for your reply. If i try to enter the hostname with the according credentials i get an error like "User credentials cannot be used for local connections" 0x80041064.
When using the server name instead of localhost the error stays the same and the line in the log simply changes from "localhost" to "servername". When i try to convert the virtual machine on another node of the cluster it states that the virtual hard disk was "Empty". I really think the problem is Hyper-V on SMB-Share. I also tried migrating a locally (on C: Drive of the Server) deployed VM, it went thru without a flaw.

Thank you again,
Mad-Eye

Update:
I have found a workaround for the problem:
  • First enable local to remote links with "fsutil behavior set SymlinkEvaluation L2R:1"
  • Link the SMB Share with "mklink /D Destfolder \\smb-server\share\
  • Update the Config of the VM to the new disk Path eg C:\Destfolde\VM\vmdisk.vhdx
  • Migrate the VM

Thanks for more details.
Could you double-check if conversion from CLI works too, please (https://www.starwindsoftware.com/v2v-he ... rface.html)?

Hi yaroslav,

can it be that the cli is only able to convert a virtual disk and not a complete VM? I can't find anything in the documentation that sounds like a vm conversion.

Hi,

Yes, it converts just a disk. Can you try converting the disk alone with CLI, please?

Hello again,

converting the disk gave me also an error:

Hi,

Thank you for the update. We will look into the logs and conversions from the file shares.

I am having the same issues. Converting Hyper-V to ESXi VHDx live on a SMB\SOFS cluster
the path is not getting passed correctly it is adding the hostname to the front of the path to the VHDx
