ESXi to HyperV
Posted: Tue Jan 14, 2025 9:03 pm
Good afternoon. I have tried doing a conversion from ESXi to HyperV - I have already done several, and they worked fine - some Windows 2019, a Windows 10, and a couple of Ubuntu VMs - they all worked fine, EXCEPT, for one Server 2019 VM. It ends up on a black screen with a flashing cursor and does not boot. Here is what I have tried so far:
Full V2V conversion - failed conversion (tried both with server off, and running)
Convert HDD only, and create gen 1 VM in hyperV and then add the drive as an IDE drive. This is when it boots to a black screen.
Any idea what might be wrong? Can someone point me in the right direction to troubleshoot this? It is a big VM - 500GB, so every time I do it, it takes many hours....so hoping to find a resolution soon
Thanks!
