The conversion will not work if the machine is powered off. Here you can choose any VMs you want to convert. For me, inputting my vCenter address did not return any VMs, but inputting a specific host worked just fine.Open up the folder you just extracted and look for + run EsxToHyperVConverter.exeĮnter the information for your ESXi host or vCenter cluster. Simply take the folder “5nine Eas圜onverter” and extract that to your desktop or some working directory. Inside the ZIP there is more than what you need for this. You’ll have to register through their website and obtain a download link via e-mail. A new VM is created on Hyper-V by combining the configuration file and disk.The VM’s hard disk is copied to a temporary location from the VMware (.vmdk) to the Hyper-V (.vhd/x) format.The VM is shutdown and then its configuration settings are remapped from VMware (.vmx) to Hyper-V (.xml) including the name, memory, virtual networks, virtual disks, etc.Overview of ESXi to Hyper-V Conversion Process I came across a piece of software by 5nine called 5nine V2V Easy Converter. In regards to ESXi 6.5 conversions to Hyper-V, based on my research there is no good way to do this for free or without a headache… Lucky me, I am running the latest 6.5 in my environments!.
This is trivial if you have a supported environment: you simply use Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter if you have ESXi 6.0 and below. Usually I find that I’ll need to convert a Hyper-V VM to VMWare ESXi, but in this rare scenario, I had to convert ESXi 6.5 Virtual Machines into Hyper-V (2012 R2) virtual machines.
