Ok, i'll start out what I'm trying to do. Currently I have a Virtual Machine running on Virtual Server 2005. Now what I would like to accomplish is to migrate this VM to my Hyper-V server. Now for most of my VM's this was pretty seamless, uninstall the old Virtual Machine Addons, turn off the the VM, move the VHD, create the new VM in Hyper-V, install the new addons, and i'm good. However, now i have 1 machine left to move, however, its not an easy move.
When i move it over and start up the hyperv machine i get a STOP 0x0000007B error.
If I put in the windows disk to do a repair on it, when it gets to the part where it detects existing Windows Installs, both partitions come up as "damaged or corrupted partition".
I think the root of the cause is that it is running a SCSI adapter to connect to the VHD. Now the other side of this is that the VM OS is windows 2000.
Host machine is a Windows 2003 R2 x32 Virtual Server.
Now the VM is setup as:
1 x SCSI Adapter
1 x 1 VHD File (attached and booting to SCSI Adapter)
OS Disk Type: Dynamic (legacy from P2V migration)
OS: Win 2004 SP4 SR1
Now my time window to get this moved over isn't great as this is a critical server (yea, i know its only running windows 2000 and it does need to be upgraded but thats another issue that i'm dealing with).
So what I've tried is:
- Straight VHD Copy and build a new machine - Stop 0x07B
- Imaged machine with Acronis Echo Server - Did the P2V Conversion and created a new VHD - Stop 0x7B
- On the hyperv (vhd connected with IDE) Started windows 2000 off the cd, it detects my partitions as damaged or corrupted.
So I guess my questions is:
- Is there a difference between a SCSI VHD and an IDE VHD?
- Can i convert SCSI to IDE?
- Should I install an IDE controller on my Virtual Server VM. Shut it down, then copy it over and attach it to an IDE controller on the HyperV? Or should i try attaching this to the IDE channel then booting it up on Virtual Server? Is this an option?
- Or do I install a fresh copy of windows 2000, then do the system backup and system state backup to bring the files over? (I'm hesitant on this as there are automatic processes that connect to the server and update things. So inorder to do a backup, I need to have it connected to the network (which will potential have processes trying to update it). I guess i could do a backup to another VHD and take the thing off the network that way.
- If i do a system backup to copy the system state over, does it matter that i'm moving from scsi to ide? Will this break?
