Hello,

We are trying to convert + migrate from a HyperV cluster environment to a VMWare VXRail cluster environment. Once the conversion and migration starts, it gives "file not found" errors, and fails, see logs below:

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
Please convert the files, and copy them to VXRail.

Thanks for the reply. So you mean convert the VHD files and then attach them to VXRail? Will we still be able to use the VM migration tool to transfer the VM itself and then just attach the converted VMDK?

You are always welcome.
Yes, but will be easier to copy the converted file from Hyper-V to VXRail.

So the V2V tool will not work to auto convert / migrate from a Hyper V cluster into a VX Rail cluster?

Can you please describe in detail the conversion scenario that you captured in the log and share the entire conversion log?
