I did a similar operation, only in the opposite direction (from KVM to Hyper-v). For your case, the algorithm is as follows:
Make a VHD image using the disk2hvd utility, or for a VHDx virtual machine, run in PowerShell:
copy the VHD to the new server, run the command:
This image can be used for virtual machines on KVM.
Alternatively, you can convert VHD to the so-called Raw format.
and make an LVM for the virtual machine, where you load the data from the resulting image into Raw.
The most difficult thing for me was to upload a 30-60 GB file from Amazon to a server in the Russian Federation without violating its consistency. After several unsuccessful attempts with ftp, http and sftp, I used the BitTorrentSync program: https://www.getsync.com
Konstantin Kozhin tell me the conversion command for KVM on Hyper-v
If I convert the vm-103-disk-0.qcow2 file to windows using the qemu-img.exe command convert -f qcow2 -O vhdx "C:\vm\vm-103 -disk-0.qcow2" C:\vm\103.vhdx then when starting Hyper-v it says "The requested operation could not be completed due to a virtual disk system limitation. Virtual hard disk files must not be compressed or encrypted and must not be sparse"
If you take the converted 103.vhdx and pull it into windows on the qemu-system-x86_64 shortcut, then everything starts. What am I doing wrong?
