I need to migrate 6 virtual HBA connected VMs off a node that is no longer clustered. Our new approach is to create .vhdx files instead.
Here is what I want to do:
Take a host, four luns
1 1024 GB
2. 1024GB
3 3036 GB
4 2048
move it off the old server and on to our newer existing HYPER-V cluster running windows 2012 R2. We would rather use .vhdx files than virtual HBAs. The host is running sql.
Are you going from Hyper-V 2012 R2 to Hyper-V 2012? There are differences in Hyper-V 2008 r2 and hyper-V 2012 R2 that make some direct migrations a little difficult. Exporting a virtual machine from windows server 2008 R2 and importing it to a server running Windows Server 2012 R2 is not supported.
I just heard about this service while getting quote for 2 new servers from the Dell Server specialist. Normally, I have consulted because I do not have much experience with HyperV servers.I am wondering if any one has utiilized Dell services to migrate hyperVs from old 2 od physical servers/SAN to 2 new Dell physical servers. Any input is appreciated!

Hello Admingirl, not sure if you are trying to migrate from VMware to Hyper-V or just Passthru disks on Hyper-V to vhdx files on Hyper-V.
If it's the latter please see the following MS article.
