Migrate VM's from Hyper-V to XenServer in Cloud
Greetings !
I have almost 300 VM's (GNU/Linux + Windows) running on Hyper-V. I want to
migrate all of them to a fresh private cloud built using Apache CloudStack
4.1 and Citrix XenServer 6.1.
I've planned to use the following approach,
1. Shutdown the VM on Hyper-V and copy its VHD.
2. Import that VHD from Citrix XenCenter onto a Hypervisor.
3. Then copy that guest VHD from XenServer to a HTTP webserver.
4. Create a template from the above VHD from CloudStack & launch a VM :)
These steps are highlighted in the below doc,
http://cloudstack.apache.org/docs/en-US/Apache_CloudStack/4.0.2/html/Admin_Guide/convert-hyperv-vm-to-template.html
Is this the only feasible & easy way to achieve this or someone has some
better approach to do so ?
Thanks.
