I have found a solution that works for me. It turns out the HyperV modules are not automatically activated in SLES 12.5 especially when coming from ESXi/VMWARE. As well, this is a ZENworks Appliance VM, running on SLES 12.5, but the fundamentals still apply, and I have successfully migrated. Here ar...

Okay I tried what you said: - Converted the disks one at a time (No Machine attached) - Created a NEW Fresh VM - Attached /dev/sda1 - I made sure NOT to boot yet - I then Booted from a LIVE SLES 12.5 iso in RESCUE mode - I mounted /dev/sda1 from the Live Environment IE: cd/ cd mnt mkdir sda1 mount /...

Okay I understand now. I did try and edit fstab already with the new UUID, and it did not boot (I do see grub everytime). However, I did not try the previous steps of commenting out /dev/sdb1, to see if /dev/sda1 boots. Last night I converted just /dev/sda1, I am about to connect it to a Clean new V...

I might be banned from the board Not sure why. Or I was earlier? I hope I am not, because you are helping me a lot, and I am VERY appreciative.

My Head Hurts.

I'm sorry, I think there is a bit of a language barrier, and I want to make sure I FULLY understand as the Order of operations seem to matter: "You will need to comment on the mount points in FSTAB prior to conversion." Do you mean COMMENT OUT? So I comment OUT the lines in FSTAB? For BOTH...

Original /etc/fstab:

UUID=b2142ed6-4e56-4f6b-8fe3-73662ca3bb2c / ext4 acl 1 1
/dev/sdb1 /vastorage ext4 rw 0 0
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

I can do all of these things :) So just to Clarify: 1. Do NOT Convert the whole Machine. 2. Convert ONE disk at a time 3. Take note of original FSTAB, and POST here? (Is that what you mean?) If so no problem I can so that :) (Just let me know, yes or no and please provide further direction for FSTAB...

I converted the entire VM.

2 drives, /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 I have tried editing the UUID from /etc/fstab from a live CD, and it Still does not boot. blkid reports /dev/sda1 is the right UUID....but for some reason it still will not boot, grub loads and I can pick the boot record but then I get: a start job is running for dev-d...

I am Attempting to Migrate a SLES 12.5 Server from ESXi to HyperV. The migration technically completes, BUT the UUID of the drives is NOT preserved during migration. Since SLES uses root Drive UUIDs to boot, the machine is not bootable after migration. Grub does attempt to boot by because the UUIDs ...

So I am using the StarWind V2V Converter, to move a local VM to Azure. The software created a storage account for Migration in the Resource group I chose. Is there a Way to Reuse the Storage account, without StarWind V2V Converter creating a new one each time? Is it looking for the storage account i...
