Hi all,
i'm getting some problems, with a Windows server 2019 guest migration, from xen server 7.1 to proxmox 8.2.2.
I did this steps:

- Remove xen agent tools from windows guest.

- install virtio drivers

- from xen server:
xe vdi-export uuid: "uuid" filename="filename".raw format=raw

- Transferred the exported vm to promox

- from proxmox
qemu-img convert -f raw -O qcow2 sourcefile.xva vmname.qcow2

- create a new vm on proxmox.

- qm importdisk " new id vm"

- added the imported disk and change boot options.

- when starting vm getting bsod. (system thread exception not handled)

- I've tried to change disk bus to ide, scsi and sata , but nothing to do.

Has Someone some experience on that?

Thank you,
 
Hello,

- install virtio drivers
I would install the VirtIO drivers after you import the VM to Proxmox VE i.e., boot the VM from IDE or SATA, and then install the VirtIO and then shutdown the VM, and change the Hard Disk to SCSI.

Could you please post the VM config?
