****** UPDATE ****** So I have discovered that the ESXi VM MUST be off before a good Conversion can take place. Yes I realize it does say in the manual to do this, but surprised it messes with the EFI partitions the way that it does. I would be curious as to WHY this happens. And why and no errors a...

I am not sure what or where that is. I don't recall seeing that in any settings anywhere. However, I think I have narrowed it down on what is happening. Let me explain. When I mount the coverted VHDX files in windows 10 it give me an error saying i don't have permission. Not a huge deal and it still...

These both seem to relate to issue with a VMWare VM not booting. I am having issue with the converted Hyper-V file not booting. I did look at the 'callback....' in the suggested link and it is set to EFI. So when i try to mount the converted VHDX file I use Gen 2 to create the hyper-v VM as, iirc, i...

I am going for a ESXi 7.X to Hyper-V The Hyper-V server is NOT part of the same network as the ESXi server. Therefore I cannot convert directly from ESXi hypervisor to the Hyper-V hypervisor. So to get around this I was only trying to convert the VMDK file to Hyper-V. So here is my process. Keep in ...

I was never converting the full VM just the VMDK of a running machine. I never received an error during the conversion but the created VHDX would not boot. I would get inaccessible boot device. Not in a cluster either. Hoping shutting down the VM will fix that issue. Otherwise I am at a lose because...

If the VM is not turned off before conversion would that cause the new VM not to boot? As that is what I a keep running into. I have tried to convert everyway possible but the new VM will not boot (the Hyper-V host is network isolated so no issue of network conflicts or name conflicts).

When v2v does a coversion does it take original machine offline after the conversion or does the new converted machine stay offline. Just wondering how a conflict does nto occur

I have tried the conversion in repair mode but get the same issue.

I am trying to create a Hyper-V file from a running ESXi 7 server. The file creates fine, no errors, but I cannot boot it on Hyper-V 2019. I have tried VHDX, VHDX repair mode, VHD. I have not got around to trying VHD in repair mode yet. When I create the VM on hyper-V i have tried both first and sec...
