Howdy guys, :D

As title says. When I convert Centos 7 distro (PBX) to 2019 Hyper-V and fire up vm, it fails to boot saying root not found, also /dev/sangoma/swap not found. And bunch of stuff not found.
The conversion process finishes 100% no errors there, the vm looks identical as on esxi in terms of CPU, RAM.
The only thing that bugs me is original vm is 225GB but used is about 64GB, so V2V converts it as only 64GB, is it possible that it actually missies rest of the drive and therefore my converted vm won’t start properly?
If that’s the case what do I do?

Thanks.

The swap file on the esxi is about 100 MB.

HI,

We did log check and conversion has indeed run smoothly. Since you are using a dynamic disk, only 64 GB were converted. There is no data alteration due to conversion in other words.
I am discussing with my colleagues the Linux-related side of the problem which you stumbled into.

Greetings,

It seems like swap the OS cannot find the swap file.
Could you tell us where the disks are located and where is the SWAP disk in particular? Run df -h on your CentOS VM?

For some reasons the vm has 2 swap files...
Any idea how to include them within exported .vhdx?

Do I run this on original vm?
