Summary
This technical demonstration walks through the complete process of migrating a Hyper-V virtual machine to the oVirt virtualization platform using StarWind V2V Converter. The tutorial emphasizes critical prerequisites, including the requirement that source VMs must be powered off before conversion begins, as the tool does not currently support hot migration. The walkthrough covers establishing connections to both the source Hyper-V server and the destination oVirt engine, selecting appropriate storage domains and cluster configurations, and verifying successful conversion by powering on and testing the migrated VM. The demonstration provides practical guidance for administrators looking to migrate workloads from Microsoft's hypervisor to the open-source oVirt platform, highlighting configuration considerations like matching operating system types between source and destination to ensure conversion success.
