P2V Cannot see dynamic disks

I am attempting to P2V a machine which has dynamic disks for RAID 1. The V2V converter doesn't seem to see any of the data disks, just the recovery partition.

Try P2V the volumes alone.

I'm not sure what you mean by volumes alone. Could you please elaborate?

Convert individual disks, please.
Also, seeing the disk management view will be helpful.

Please see the attached screenshot of disk manager. Note that the V2V converter only sees the blue volumes, not the red dynamic disk volumes.
here is some info on the process I believe the previous administrator preformed to create this mirror configuration.

Hi,
Thanks for your update. I will ask my colleagues to take a look at it.
Could you please let me know what is the OS?

Thanks a lot for sharing the screenshots and details of the RAID1 configuration process — this is really helpful to better understand the current issue with the V2V converter.

Welcome to StarWind Forum.
Did you also run into the same issue? If so, did you also try with the latest build?
