Upcoming Virtual Server 2005 R2 --> Hyper-V Migration on 7/19

Hi guys,

I'm going to be installing Hyper-V on an existing Virtual Server 2005
R2 machine (Server 2008) this Saturday morning, and will need to move
2 existing virtual machines (A terminal Server VM and an SQL VM) over
to the new Hyper-V. I'll be documenting the whole thing and probably
posting it on here. Ever get that feeling when something goes too
well and too smoothly that you missed something important and things
are actually terribly wrong? I don't want that feeling. I want to
run into issues, share them, and hopefully teach and learn some
lessons at the same time.

I know (I hope) about the standard steps to be taken:

1. Backup VHD's (because once hyper-v integration components are
installed, there's no going back - confirm?), then remove VM
additions.

2. Install Hyper-V role. I will be doing this after stopping Virtual
Server services. I would like to be able to switch back to Virtual
Server if Hyper-V ends up breaking. Can someone confirm if this is
possible? Note: I do not plan on running Virtual Server and Hyper-V
in parallel.

3. Confirmed both VMs are Server 2003 SP2.

4. Manually create the VM's in Hyper-V and then point them to the old
VHD's.

5. Boot the VMs and install the integration components.

If there are any other steps or changes that I haven't seen, please
share :) I think my greatest concern is having Hyper-V on a system
with an existing Virtual Server installation. I would think that it
should be fine as long as Virtual Server isn't running and isn't set
to run on boot.

Comments are appreciated!

Thanks guys. - Dan

There is a new utility due soon to do this. This blog will keep you up to
date as I think he is the author of the VMRCPlus utility and has created a
new conversion utility due out soon for Hyper-V Migration.
