You can do this with the following command which I placed in a BAT file to make the process easier: Next, you need to convert from VMWare VHDK format to VHD format. So, I came up with a two step process that I will discuss here. I looked on the web and found a ton of references on converting from VHDK to VHD, but not to VHDX. But like hell was I going to rebuild all my machines. Recently, I got a new Surface Pro 4 and decided now was the time I am going to make the switch to Hyper-V. So, I have a LOT of virtual hard drives (VHDK) files in VMWare format. NET, long before there was a Hyper-V and long after Microsoft killed off Virtual PC. I have development environments going back to the dark ages of. Figure D shows the V2V process running for this example in the Jobs display of SCVMM.I have used VMWare for a long, long time. Then the conversion process will start, and time will vary based on a number of factors, including size of source machine, network speed, and utilization of Hyper-V host. The option to export the task via PowerShell is also available. Some other options, such as networking configuration and startup preferences, are presented as the wizard progresses. If the virtual disk stays thin provisioned, you should be mindful of the disk usage consumption over time. The wizard allows the disk geometry to be changed, which can be handy if a drive has become close to full and a little more breathing room is needed. During this time, the P2V agent will install on the source server as vmmP2VAgent.exe ( Figure C). Then the conversion wizard will query the server and return information, as well as install the virtual machine manager agent on the remote system.
The new name is shown in the wizard in Figure B. In this example, VB3 is running on VirtualBox, and it will be a V2V conversion. If the system is not in Active Directory, an IP address or a name can be entered and alternate credentials specified the wizard will then ask for a target virtual machine name. The wizard will find servers directly through Active Directory. Within SCVMM, the option is on the Actions tree on the right ( Figure A). Within all versions of System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM), there is a convert physical server wizard that will perform a P2V or a V2V conversion. When it comes to performing a physical-to-virtual (P2V) or virtual-to-virtual (V2V) conversion, the options to do this on Hyper-V may not be as familiar as other platforms.
