To migrate Hyper-V VMs to Sangfor HCI, follow the suggestion:

To use the SCMT Tool for live migration. It creates an agent on the VM to be migrated.
Alternatively, perform live migration directly within Sangfor HCI.
Remember to plan for any necessary downtime during the migration process.

To seamlessly transfer Hyper-V VMs to Sangfor HCI without interrupting both guest and host operations, utilize a conversion tool like Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter (MVMC). This tool facilitates the transformation of VMs into compatible formats, such as VMDK or OVF, which can subsequently be integrated into the Sangfor HCI infrastructure.

Migrating VMs from Hyper-V to Sangfor HCI involves a few options, and directly copying the disks won't work. Here are the recommended approaches:

1. Using Sangfor HCI Migration Tools:

    Sangfor HCI offers its own migration tools. Refer to their documentation for specific instructions. These tools likely handle format conversion and integration seamlessly.
    You can find resources on Sangfor's website or community forums: https://www.sangfor.com/blog/clo ... on-with-sangfor-hci or https://community.sangfor.com/fo ... thread&tid=2195

2. Third-party Migration Tools:

    Several third-party tools specialize in VM migration, including options for Hyper-V to Sangfor HCI. These tools can simplify the process and offer additional features like scheduling or workload balancing.

3. Manual Migration with Export/Import:

    While less automated, you can manually migrate VMs using Hyper-V's export and Sangfor HCI's import functionalities. Here's the general process:

        Export from Hyper-V:
            Choose a suitable export format. Sangfor HCI supports VHD/VHDX, OVA, and VMA formats.
            Use the Hyper-V Manager to export each VM, specifying the desired format and location.

        Import to Sangfor HCI:
            Refer to Sangfor HCI's documentation for specific import instructions for your chosen format.
            The import process might involve browsing to the exported VM files and following the on-screen prompts.

Important Note:

    Whichever method you choose, ensure your Sangfor HCI environment is configured to recognize the chosen VM format (VHD/VHDX, OVA, or VMA).

Addressing the Error:

Copying the disk directly (VHD/VHDX or even Qcow2) won't work because Sangfor HCI needs the VM information alongside the disk data. The migration tools or import process handle this integration for proper functionality.

By following these steps and referring to Sangfor's documentation, you should be able to successfully migrate your Hyper-V VMs to the new Sangfor HCI infrastructure.
