  Hi Boris,

  During a PoC at a customer, I encountered the same problem : there were VMware servers in its infrastructure. He wanted to migrate his VMware virtual machines to Hyper-v R2. After deploying SCVMM 2012, I tried to migrate all the VMware machines using the P2V feature even if they were virtual machines. The result was that it has worked. So you can test the P2V feature from your VMM 2012 server to your VMware machines.

  Don't forget that for SQL or Exchange servers, you have to do an offline migration.

  Hi,
  
  From Microsoft, you can use either SCVMM or the beta version of Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter. However, as far as I know, they need to transfer the workload from network instead of SAN directly.

  I haven't tried VMM2012, but with VMM 2008 works fine too with P2V as David LACHARI suggest.

  However, the VMtools are moved to the Hyper V and refuse to be removed. Not critical, VM will run fine, but its annoying to have VMTools when VM is not anymore on ESXi

  To fix this, look on

  Hi,

  what kind of Tools (MS or 3rd) can I use to do an "online" v2v migration from a VMware hosts system (OS on vmdk, Data on RDM) to a Hyper-V Cluster with SCVMM2012 (Management). My wish: via SAN Migration and SMI-S support.

  Perhaps you have some good operation experience you will share with me :)

  Regards

  Give a try to V2V converter from StarWind. It's free and it works :)

  Along with Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter beta you can also use Free VMWare --> Hyper-V V2V Converter from 5nine Software: http://www.5nine.com/vmware-hyper-v-v2v-conversion-free.aspx .

  It supports Windows x86 and x86 Guest OSs, as well as most of Ubunto, CentOS, etc. VMs. It also works both on Server 2008 R2/Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, as well as beta of Windows 8 / Server 2012.
