For weeks I have been trying multiple methods to convert a Hyper-V VM to Proxmox without success.
The issue is that in Proxmox, the machine reports: No bootable device.

Here's a screenshot of the Hyper-V VM (Windows 2008 R2 Standard) disks:

I export both disks and then do:

qm importdisk vmid source.vhdx LVM

The disks all convert fine.
I configure both imported disks as IDE on the Proxmox VM but still not bootable.

Using Starwind Converter, I also converted to VMDK and QCOW2 with the same result.

I don't know what else to do.

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Dennis
 
I was able to convert the Hyper-V VM to ESXi with vCenter Converted and it booted.

The issue is converting it to Proxmox.

I will now attempt to convert it from VMware to Proxmox.

I was able to migrate it to Proxmox and boot.

I had to switch boot order and place ide1 (558GB) disk as the first boot device even though Windows said that the boot partition was C: (136GB).
