Re: Recommendation for migrating Hyper V virtual machines to HPE VME

If it were me, I'd probably look at StarWind's V2V convertor (it's free), and export the Hyper-V machine to qcow2 format, then import into VME.  You didn't mention what your underlying infrastructure / storage is going to be for VME, but if it's NFS, then you could theoretically mount the NFS volume to the Hyper-V host and save yourself a transfer step and export (the qcow2) directly to NFS, and then define the VMs with virsh.  Otherwise, you'll need to export to somehwere the Hyper-V host can read to (NTFS) and then use WinSCP or FileZilla to transfer the qcow2 to VME's datastore.

The underlying storage is an HPE MSA 2070 ISCSI SAN.....

Depending on your downtime requirements (less downtime the better), OpenText Migrate performs online migrations in realtime from Hyper-V to HPE Instances. Lift-n-shift. The process is fairly simple, just build a logically identical VM of the OS you are moving with the same logical volume (you can right-size as well) and the Full Server Migration workflow will assist you as you go. Downtime is measure in minutes.
