I'm new to Proxmox and I'm working on migrating some VMs from Hyper-V over to Proxmox. I was able to migrate a Win11 VM without issue by exporting the VM from Hyper-V and converting the VHDX disk into the QCOW2 format and importing that into a new VM on my Proxmox server. However, when I tried that with a Ubuntu 18.04 VM, the imported VM simply sits at "Booting from Hard Disk". I installed the qemu-guest-agent package before exporting the VM but that was the only thing I did before exporting. Not sure if I should have done anything else before hand. I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction so I can get this working.
[SOLVED] V2V from Hyper-V
- Thread starter baron164
- Start date
After some searching I found that I had to switch the new VM's Bios over to UEFI and then I was able to boot the VM. I also had to change the display type to "vmware compatible" for the display to work properly. So right now the only thing I have left to fix is the network connection. Network connection is fixed, but for whatever reason the cifs mount is failing with a permission denied error. All the issues appear to have been resolved, looks good.

Nice you got through the migrations!
Did the issue resolve itself, or did you have to change some settings to get networking and CIFS to work?
For the network I used the ip addr show command to find the of the new network device which was shown as "DOWN". I then updated the /etc/network/interfaces config file with the name of the new nic. I was then able to bring up the network interface. The cifs issue appears to have just been an authentication issue with the account.
