You can also run defrags etc at this point, nice and easy whilst the VHDX is mounted. The first step is to determine the guest’s domain number on the XenServer.
#Step by step xen server vdi drivers
After successfully converting the existing VM to a VHDX file, I mounted it to double check the drivers directory and make sure none of the Xen* drivers were still around, there were machines that managed to have these drivers in tact which would prevent the machines booting in Hyper-V. This part was pretty critical on a couple of my VM’s. This design guide describes technical considerations and best practices for integrating Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops brokering software with Dell EMC XC. It also describes the step-by-step process of installation. You could alternatively choose to do a vm export via XenServer CLI at this point, but I didn’t test this (Thanks Tobias Kreidl for the pointer) It focuses on the installation and integration onto XenServer, Hyper-V, and VMware hyper visors. Be warned, you will be using a stock standard legacy NIC without XenServer tools, so your transfer speeds will suck. I chose to use Disk2Vhd from sysinternals for this part of the process, you can realistically do whatever you like tool wise, I like Disk2Vhd as its never ever failed me. This then left me with plenty of ghost devices to deal with. To resolve, I had to reinstall the latest management agent, and then uninstall.
#Step by step xen server vdi driver
I came across some odd behaviours where even when removing the agent from add/remove programs, the driver sets would stay in play (confirmed under device management). I needed to remove these on the source VM to start with which is a commonly known requirement in the XenServer world. If you need assistance with installing the XenServer hypervisor. Uninstall XenServer Tools/Management Agent The Quick Start Guide requires you have a machine running XenServer already in place. The VM’s in question are Windows Server 2016 Step 1. Below is what (after many attempts and head meets wall moments) I found to be the best way of consistently moving the workload from XenServer 7.6 to Hyper-V 2016. The tools are limited, and whilst there are some freebie options around to help, it’s the process rather than the tooling that is the challenge. Not the simplest of all tasks and disturbingly complex compared to the simplicity of moving VM’s in and out of vSphere. I recently had the unenviable task of moving a few XenServer based Virtual machines across to Hyper-V.
