Migration from ESXi8.0 to Proxmox 7.3 using clonezilla failed.

[nwongrat]

I have been trying to migrate from esxi to proxmox using clonezilla. There were 3 VMs I need to migrate.

First one is Window Server 2019 I can migrate using all default setting for both clonezilla and proxmox vm creation. It was success. I was really happy. However, happiness was not last. The other 2 were failed. I have tried to change some vm setting blindly (just try) but no luck. When start new vm from proxmox. it show blue screen and kept restarting every time. The content of blue screen was due to hardware change bla bla bla.

The other 2 vms were Windows 2008r2.

Is there any specific setting need to be done?

Was your original server install on a UEFI or BIOS machine? begin by making sure you have the same bios type on the destination.

also, for the first boot, ensure that your host bus is set to SATA (check your boot order settings if it doesnt boot.)

Please deinstall vmware tools before migrating to PVE.
Maybe you know this site, but to be sure: https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Windows_2008_guest_best_practices

Thanks a lot. I did change the new vm from UEFI to BIOS and it worked.
I will try to uninstall VMware tools then try again. The monor problem after boot was unusable mouse in console. Only keyboard working which kinda pain but will live......

Now the problem is, after boot, my software license was gone. I guess it bind with something relate to LAN CARD.

Any other things, I could change, beside MAC address?

After clonezilla you should power off both VMs, change MAC on destination VM and then power it on. Good luck!

It seems I have no luck. I did change MAC to match original. However, Failed...
