I am trying to convert VMware VM to Microsoft Hyper-V. It works well if the VM has single drive but not converting if the VM has multiple drives. am i doing something wrong or it is a bug. I am using Starwind V2V converter version 9.0.1.755.

Any help in this regard highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sudheer

Thanks for your post. Converting the VM with multiple disks should be OK.
I have logged an internal testing request.

I have tried the same version for offline migration from Vmware esxi 7 to hyper v and it went without any issues.

As for me, when switching online from VMware VM to Microsoft Hyper-V is very smooth, but if in offline mode they have no real connection like congestion.

Had the same case with 2 disks – online conversion worked fine, but offline gave me trouble. It's work fine now.

Could you please tell me more about your conversion scenario?

I have several Windows Server 2019 VMs on ESXI to be converted to Hyper-V that have multiple drives, some of them very large. (250 GB - 2 TB)

Is there a confirmed problem doing an off line conversion?

Whether doing an offline or live conversion, does it correctly create drive per drive? Meaning, if the existing VM has 5 drives, will V2V converter create 5 drives in the designated location?

V2V will convert disks while converting the VM or individual disks one-by-one as individual disks at the destination host.
