can the starwind converter commandline product convert an entire vm from esxi to hyper-v?
i have tested the gui version and it appears to catch all the disks. my sql vms have about 7 or 9 or 11+ disks each.

a commanline example would be great.

im currently cloning a larger sql server to test this.

thanks

given the below data can you post a sample commandline that would convert a vm on esx to hyper-v? i learn best by examples and should expidite my learning.

esx host: esx-prod1
user: root
password: rootpwd

vm name: yomama
bios/efi: bios
disks: 9 total (3 lsi sas & 6 paravirtual)

hyper-v proof of concept host: hypv-poc1
user: somecloud\hypvadmin
password: hyperfree
path: c:\clusterstorage\volume2\vms\

big thanks in advanced.

a good feature request would be a button a user can click to "script as" when in the gui after they configure a migration.
