I’d like to import a real Windows Server 2008 server as a Hyper-V Virtual Server on another Windows Server 2008 instance.
Anyone have any idea how to do this?
I’m looking at the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 but it doesn’t seem to import Windows Server 2008 – nor is it free.
Is there some other workaround (i.e. import the image into VMWare first, then convert to Hyper-V)?
Please help.
Regards,
Randall
while testing disaster recovery, iwas pleasantly surprised
(and impressed) that the builtin windows server backup
restored to hyper-v without a hitch.
this was on production hardware, with hw raid 5 and such –
so i expect it would work with slightly less exotic stuff as well.
