Migrating Hyper-V Virtual Machines to the VNXe SystemHyper-V virtual machine migration limitations and restrictionsTable 3 on page 44 outlines the environment for migration of a virtual machine using theHyper-V export and import features.Table 3 Environment for Hyper-Virtual machine migrationComponentVNXeHostVirtual machineVirtual machine datastoreRequirementDatastore sized to accommodate the existing Hyper-V based virtualmachine that you are migrating.One Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V host with access to both thevirtual machine disk to be migrated and the Hyper-V datastore forthe migrated virtual machine.Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V based (not Virtual Server 2005 orVirtual PC based).Virtual machine disk is either a local or attached iSCSI storage deviceand does not need to be shared storage.Migrating a virtual machine to a VNXe Hyper-V datastoreTo migrate a virtual machine to a VNXe datastore, perform these tasks:◆ Task 1: Export the virtual machine (page 44).◆ Task 2: Import the virtual machine (page 45).Task 1: Export the virtual machine1. Launch the Hyper-V Manager console.2. From the Hyper-V Manager, select the virtual machine and in the Actions panel chooseeither to power off or to save the virtual machine that you want to export.3. When the virtual machine is either powered off or saved, select the virtual machine,and select Export... from the Actions panel.4. Either enter the export path for or browse to the VNXe Hyper-V datastore that youcreated for the virtual machine and click Export.5. When the export operation is complete, use Windows Explorer to review the files thatwere created on the export location - the VNXe Hyper-V datastore that you created forthe virtual machine.The exported files are:• config.xml file containing basic virtual machine configuration information• .exp file with the detailed virtual machine configuration• Copies of any virtual hard drive file images associated with the virtual machine• All snapshot data associated with the virtual machineIf you export only the virtual machine configuration, only the config.xml and the .expfile are exported.44 Using a VNXe System with Microsoft Windows Hyper-V
Migrating Hyper-V Virtual Machines to the VNXe SystemTask 2: Import the virtual machine1. Launch the Hyper-V Manager console.2. In the Actions panel, select Import Virtual Machine.3. Either enter the export path for or browse to the VNXe Hyper-V datastore that youcreated for the virtual machine or select the option to re-use the original virtualmachine ID for the imported virtual machine, and click Import.IMPORTANTWe do not recommend that you re-use the original virtual machine ID, if the original virtualmachine will continue to operate in the same Hyper-V infrastructure.Migrating a virtual machine to a VNXe Hyper-V datastore 45
