vhd migration

[svacaroaia]

Hi,

Is there an easy way to migrate Hyper-V vhd VMs ?
I have both Windows 2008 and Ubuntu VMs running on Hyper-V
that need to be moved to Proxmox and couldn't find any documentation pertaining to Hyper-v/vhd
here http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Migration_of_servers_to_Proxmox_VE

I think the most common and safe method is :

- remove any additions
- shutoff VM
- apply registry patch to allow windows to boot from IDE ( is this still needed with the newest kernel pve-kernel-2.6.32-14-pve: 2.6.32-74 ) ?
- create a new VM
- rename vhd to raw and added to it
- boot

|Any help / pointers/ advice will be truly appreciated
Thanks
Steven

AFAIK yes.

- rename vhd to raw and added to it

I am not sure if that is enough. I guess you need to convert that format with 'qemu-img' into a raw image.
