HyperV and Raid (software mirror)

hi all

using disk2vdm

i have converted 2003 hyperv had hardware raid 1 volume.

now trying p2v 2003 (non dc) server has 2 x 250 gb software mirror partitioned 2 drives c +d

disk2vhd creates 2 drives when start vm hangs detect errors on d: , runs repair goes nowhere.

if remove d drive boot off c ok.

so tried p2v d drive see create 2 files xxxx0.vhd , xxxx1.vhd different sizes !!!! gives , why?

neither work

as d data drive create new 1 in hyperv instance , copy data over, manually recreate shares etc , go way if don't succeed or clever guys out there.

thanks comments can throw way :)

btw - forum not support of disk2vhd.

however, disk2vhd free (you pay for).

and, documented behavior 1 vhd per partition, not volume.

you need repair server 2003 install , modify bootloader , boot driver proper disk.

personally, install new server vm , migrate it. in end far happier results.

or, download scvmm evaluation vhd , set environment (scvmm plus 1 hyper-v server) use p2v.
