Over the weekend I attempted to migrate two physical servers to pve. One 2003 & one 2008R2.
Using Clonezilla the 2003 migration went fine, updated hardware and drivers to virtio and all is well.
After 20+ hours of copying data the 2008R2 migration failed to start.
It starts with a flash of a BSOD then presents a Windows Error page asking if I wish to start Windows normally or enter recovery mode etc. If I select start Windows normally then it cycles to the same place again.
Are there any tricks to a 2008R2 migration? I really don't want to trial and error with 20+ hours of data migration each time.
p.s. Next time I'll install a physical hdd in the source server and Clonezilla local hdd to image then move the hdd to the destination server and copy the image to Proxmox.
