Hi all,
Please I need a confirmation over here : I want to perform some P2V operations to a Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V target.
I want to know, in the P2V wizard, is VMM giving us the choice between using VHDx or VHD format for the target virtual machine ?
Can any one if possible paste a screen shot ?
Thanks

HI
I got this error on migrating a Windows Server 2003 Sp2 machine to my Hyper-V Cluster.
Error (21150)
Failed to customize WinPE Image.
Recommended Action
Verify that Virtual Machine Manager and the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit are installed correctly.
I have a VMM 2012 SP1 machine and installed the Deployment Tools and the Windows Preinstallation Enviroment (Windows PE) from the ADK Kit.
What I do wrong?
Is there a LOG File?
We are facing issue in P2V of 2 windows server 2000 SP4 machines. SCVMM agent could not be installed on the source machine from SCVMM console as well as manually.we get an error saying you do not have sufficient permission to start system services.
We have tried from both domain admin and local computer admin accounts but still the issue is same. We even stopped the Office scan service and checked other dependent services (RPC, WMI, Remote Registry etc).Attached is the screenshot of the error please have a look and advise..
Hello everyone! I'm converting an ESX VM to Hyper-V. My configuration is:
1. ESX 4.0 cluster. VM are stored on LUN on fiber storage;
2. vCenter Server on a Windows 2003 R2;
3. Windows 2008 R2 Cluster. Hyper-V enabled. SCVMM2012 (no SP1) installed on one of the nodes. VM are stored on fiber LUN.
I cloned the ESX VM and did 3 converting tests on the 250GB clone. Two tests were sucessed but one was failed.
1. In VMM2012 Home -> Create Virtual Machine -> Convert Virtual Machine, select the clone on ESX server as the source. Simply following the wizard, I have a high-available VM after 25 hours.
2. Copy the whole VM folder to VMM server (5 hours). Convert VMDKs to VHDs by third party convertor(50 minutes). Create a VM with these VHDs. In VMM, migrate the VM to the clustered storage and make it HA (2 hours). I get all done in 8 hours.
3. Copy the whole VM folder to VMM library and try to Convert Virtual Machine from there --- it was failed.
In the successful convert, VMM opens the VM on ESX platform -> Install Hyper-V integrated Services -> Stop VM -> Convert VMDK files. In the failed test, VMM couldn't open the VM in VMM library --- that's reasonable you can't up a ESX VM on Hyper-V host --- then it couldn't install integrated services nor convert anything.
But I thought I could do that according to V2V: Converting Virtual Machines in VMM and the threads in the forum. Did I miss anything?

Hi folks,
I have pulled out the last remaining hairs on this one, My SCVMM 2008 R2 refuses to P2V.
The error it produces looks as if to be a common one given the amount of conversation about it but everything I have tried thus far doesn't rectify the problem.
So far the issue occurs with/without the vmmservice.exe.config file present in the bin folder on the server.
It fails regardless of the garbage collection setting.
It fails even running as an administrator & uac being completely disabled.
Permissions on the respective folders allow for the user to have full control.
The computer acct is added to the local admins & vmm servers group on the server.
Sp1 and rollup 2 is installed.
If fails if i extract the sp2.cab to a folder and use add-patch -patchfilespath C:\files\atapi.sys
PS C:\Files> Add-Patch -PatchFilePath C:\Files\atapi.sysi also read http://blogs.technet.com/b/scvmm/archive/2011/12/06/a-system-center-virtual-machine-manager-2008-p2v-of-windows-server-2003-fails-with-reference-to-sp2-cab.aspx and corrected the file by adding the missing >.
Is there any other nugget i can look at?
Oz.
The new VM is being created via a P2V process run from SCVVM. It reaches a completion of 60% and dies. I asked about this in another question detail of the VVM can be seen at this link:
Running Win2008 R2 w/ Hyper-V role enabled & SCVVM 2008R2
In any event I checked the Hyper-V logs to see if they might shead any light on the problem and there were two error messages associated with the attempted conversion. The first Event ID 3430

I have blownout the server and reinstalled the operating system and SCVVM and applied all the current updates to no avail. I have the exact same issue again. The problem seem to be at least on the serface an authority problem because I have no problem creating new VM via the P2V process on an old Virtual Server running on Win2003R2.
Oh yes I can create new virtual machines on the system in question and move them to the library as was suggested to verify in a Blog post so I am really wondering what the problem is?
Configuration Analyzer Just gave me a warning about reporting not being setup on the VVM which it isn't so no suprise there?
Any information that might help me figure this would be greatly appreciated
Hello,
we are having problems P2V Windows XP pro 32-bit using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1 to Hyper-V 3.0 server. When we run P2V wizard and scan the system, we get the following error on the Windows XP host:
Faulting application vmmP2VAgent.exe, version 3.1.6011.0, faulting module vmmP2VAgent.exe, version 3.1.6011.0, fault address 0x0014765e.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Any idea why this happens? Is P2V Windows XP pro with SP3 even supported in 2012? Are there any prerequisits we should do before doing P2V? Are there any KBs or hotfixes?
Thank you!
Best wishes,
Marko
I'm basically stuck getting booted into winpe over and over after a failed offline p2v. I've waited up to an hour for scvmm to reboot the server into the original os but its just not doing it?
How can I disable the boot into winpe manually to stop this from happening! My server is currently down and i'm running out of time to get it back up!!
Use Case:
P2V online conversion. Keeping source physical online, we'd like to bring up the new virtual with a new hostname, ip address, join to the domain with the new name. All attempts to do this so far have failed. The cmdlet does state the goal is to bring the machine up with the same name as the source. Just wondering if anyone has done what we want to do, and if it's possible.
Thanks
Hi,
We have an environment deployed with vSphere 4 (Esx 4.0) with W2K8, W2K8R2, W2K3, W2K and RedHat VM's in. Now we are moving to Hyper-v 2012 and were migrating W2K8R2, W2K8 and W2K3 with no problems. Issue comes when we try to migrate Redhat VMs to HyperV.
Do you guys have idea what steps should I follow to get this work?
We are using System Center 2012 SP1
Thanks
Anthony

I recieve the following error when I attempt to PV2 a Win7 machine:
"Error (2940)
VMM is unable to complete the requested file transfer. The connection to the HTTP server <name> could not be established.
Unknown error (0x80072ee2)
Recommended Action
Ensure that the HTTP service and/or the agent on the machine <name> are installed and running and that a firewall is not blocking HTTP/HTTPS traffic on the configured port."
The VMM is running server 2012 standard. The source machine is WIN7 and it is not in the AD domain. The destination server is running Hyper-V server 2012 and it is in the same AD domain as the VMM. Firewall is turned off on both machines.
Any ideas?
Hi Folks,
We currently running few Virtual Machines on our 2008 R2 Hyper-v on DCIB. Now we are planning to install 2008 R2 Hyper-v on latest hardware and migrate existing Virtual Machines to new setup. Currently our environment doesn't have SCVMM. As current setup is running in DCIB external storage connectivity is not possible. While searching for best way to migrate current VMs to new setup, we have planned to mount Network drive to existing Hyper-v server, export shutdown Virtual Machines and import it on new setup. But now I'm hearing from few peers that exporting Virtual Machines on Network Drive is not possible in 2008 R2 Hyper-v?
First, export import option is reliable solution? or is there any other method which we can follow? Kindly assist me in clarifying this.
Thanks and Regards,
Hari.
Hoping for a little help solving this problem. I am trying to run a P2V conversion of a server running SharePoint 2010 using VMM 2012 SP1. The agent seems to install fine but the scan fails with the error code 12703.
I understand that it needs a certificate to be added to the VMM server as decribed below from the Technet error codes list but it doesn't say which one or where I find it or which one. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be a massive help.
Thanks in advance.
12703 | VMM cannot establish a trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel for %ServerName; server. | Install the certificate to the trusted people root store of the VMM management server and then try the operation again |
Darren
UPDATE:
I have found a certificate and exported that and then imported that on to the VMM server in the trusted people root store with the other certs. However I am still getting the error message as it runs through the Scan System routine.
Are there any logs that can be reviewed as I haven't been able to find anything on the Source server in the standard event logs?
Is there anything else I can try?
Hello,
I am able to perform V2V without much trouble between both platforms but there is one setting I cannot find :
Where do I get to ask SCVMM to keep the hard drive in Dynamic form instead of fixed size. It really bring the transition time down and I have many VMs to transfert from Vmware to HyperV
Can I perform a P2V where I do get this option ?
Is there a more elegant way ?
Thanks
Dear All:
I have some w2k3 and w2k8 servers with OEM licenses. I 'll plan them from physical to virtual machine, is it work? i knew i need to buy other licenses for virtual machines. do I need to reactive the windows by new product key after physical to virtual machine only?
