Hyper-V Gen2 Linux to Proxmox

[AlexLup]

Hi,
I have an image in Hyper-V that I would like to convert over to Proxmox. Is there an a proper guide out there other than https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/ubuntu-vm-efi-boot-problem.28318/#post-142591 ?

Thanks,
A

I managed to do it myself, with some errors but still

On Proxmox (destination)
* Create a new VM
* Create a EFI disk
* In options BIOS = OMVF (UEFI)
* Download Clonezilla and start on it in the VM
* Choose "Remote destination"
* Enter IP of the Hyper-V

On Hyper-V (source)
* Start on Clonezilla
* Choose "Remote src" -> Disk cloning mode

Back to Proxmox
* Hit enter to start cloning
* Once done, reboot, press Esc to get into the BIOS
* Boot manager -> Boot from file -> choose grub64.iso


(I am aware that there are errors in this guide as I sadly did not note the whole procedure, but had to resort of comminiting from memory. But if you are following this guide, make notes and update it, might help the next person to get this up and running!)

Did you know the documentation about? Done this often, and it has worked always fine. Not tested with UEFI. Don't forget after to optimize the vm with drivers and the right devices...

fireon - I read through all of it I could find, most of it is for Windows and worked fine. Linux Hyper-V guest was not there tho, hence my guide

Yes, you described one way to do this, that almost applies to all OSes, so it's a good general approach.

On Linux, normally, you just rsync your files and fix your bootsector and are good to go.

I have an easy solution (2 minute) for troubled Hyper-V Gen2 Virtual machines running Linux (and maybe also Windows OSses, but I haven't tested that yet).

For future readers, please try this first, It can save you alot of time:
