    Hello Everyone,

     

    I did a P2V migration of a Server Box with Windows Server 2008 R2 (with SCVMM2008R2 SP1). the HDD system was partitionned as 1 partition SYSTEM (for bootmgr), and second partition for OSDisk (well, the default partitions to be Bitlocker ready)

    So P2V did me 2 vhd (1 IDE controller, using the 2 channels: 0,1)... during the P2V wizard i don't have way to merge this 2 parition to 1 vhd...(or maybe i missed it?)

    well my VM works, but it's a bit silly to have 2 vhd, 1 for the boot, another for the OS.

    How can i merge this 2 partitions in one vhd ?

     

     

    Best Regards,

     

     

    Marc.

    I do not think what you need is appicable.. you will contiune with 2 VHD files.

    To merge a virtual hard disk

    1. Open the Administration Website.
    2. In the navigation pane, under Virtual Disks, click Inspect.
    3. Do one of the following, and then click Inspect:
      • In Known virtual hard disks, select the virtual hard disk that contains the changes you want to merge.
      • In Fully qualified path to file, type the fully qualified path to the virtual hard disk file that contains the changes you want to merge.
    4. Under Actions, click Merge virtual hard disk.
    5. Take one of the following actions:
      • Select Merge With Parent Virtual Hard Disk.
      • Select Merge to New Virtual Hard Disk, and then complete the following steps:
      Select a folder in which to store the new virtual hard disk. If the folder is not listed, in Step 2 type the fully qualified path when you name the virtual hard disk.
      Type a name for the new virtual hard disk. You do not need to include a file name extension.
      In Merged Virtual Hard Disk Type, select a type for the new virtual hard disk.
    6. Click Merge.

    Hello Fawzi,

     

    Thanks for your answer. indeed i guess i can't do that. i didn't found any workaround for now.

     

    Anyways the link you pasted me about merging a vhd, is about to merge a differencial disk to his parent (.avhd to the .vhd). this is not i need to do since i have 2 .vhd files, that correspond to 2 different partitions on the source physical disk (and not 2 LUN!)

     

     

    Regards,

    You could use a tool named Disk2VHD for the P2V conversion which allows 2 partitions to be converted into one VHD.
    When you use this VHD the OS within the VM will still see two partitions.
