V2V VMware to Hyper-V Failing

[tommytwotone]

Hi, I am using V2V to convert VMware machine to Hyper-V. I powered off the VMware VM. I provided the remote source VCenter, and remote destination Hyper-V server, and Virtual Machine Path. I click 'Finish' and the conversion starts. The 'Converting' screen displays and shows 0%. Then, a few seconds later it jumps to 100%, and the 'Conversion Log' displayed on screen shows these four time stamped events:
1. Started
2. Opening Image File
3. Success
4. Creating Image File / Error creating image / Invalid parmeter. / Conversion failed.
I checked the log file and I see 'INFO' entry "...pathOutput: D:\VMs\Test-AsbCoLWca01\Virtual Hard Disks\Test-AsbCoLWca0.vhd". then, a few lines later I see 'ERROR' entry "...CVHDXFile::NewFile: File extension is not VHDX."
So, why does the PathOutput list a VHD extension, but as per the error it seems like it wanted a VHXD extension? Does this have anything to do with the failure? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Please share the entire log and try converting an individual disk as a file.

I'm having the exact same problem in the exact same scenario down to the exact same error message.

Hi,

Thanks, I will bring them to R&D. Please follow the workaround for converting the individual disks.

[mcreedjr]

This is a regression issue. I have no interest in converting individual disks by hand. 9.0.1.509 functions as expected.

Thanks for your update. I can't provide the ETA for the workaround. Please use the previous converter version if it works.
My colleagues will look into the logs. Many thanks for your cooperation!

[tommytwotone]

Thanks for all the information. Anywhere I can download version9.0.1.509 ?
