If you don’t know, you might have to mount a few of them and look and see what’s in them. Now, mount the proper disk partition for your root filesystem this may take some guessing if you don’t remember which is which. Once at the “Rescue” prompt, enter “root” as the login. Tip: while the splash screen is up, hit the escape key and notice the Hyper-V drivers it chose in my case it was only hv_netvsc and hv_storvsc, but you may have others. Start the VM (booting from ISO), and choose “Rescue System” as the boot choice. Step 3: Boot and Mount the Alternate Root But before you start it, attach the correct installation ISO (I use the tiny “network install” ISO). Then, create a Generation 1 Virtual Machine in Hyper-V (try to use the same name, memory settings, and so on as before), but choose to “Use an existing virtual hard disk” and set it to the newly converted hard disk. Next, move the newly converted disk to wherever you keep your virtual hard disks (I assume you have a designated location). We need to create a temporary folder for our converted disk - in my case on a separate drive from where my source VMs reside, to speed things up a tad:ĬonvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk -SourceLiteralPath “E:Virtual MachinesOpensuse12.3Opensuse12.3.vmdk” ![]() Import-Module “C:Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter\MvmcCmdlet.psd1” ![]() ![]() Open Powershell *as Administrator* (right-click, run as Administrator), and load the module: Go to the MVMC2 download site, get the software, and install. The below article will provide you the correct way to carry out the tasks Step 1: Install MVMC2įirst, the installation. There are some situtaions where we fail to move Linux based Guest VMs to Hyper V from VMware. If you haven’t figured it out already, the basic problem here is that the Linux VMs (that came from the VMware environment) don’t have the Hyper-V drivers configured because they weren’t needed at installation (again, on VMware), but the Installation ISOs *do* have the drivers at the ready when booting the “rescue system”.
