Hi Hanccocka,<br />
<br />
After the conversion, there are 3 vhd files created. demo_1 is the system and C: drive, demo_2 is d: drive which is 30 GB, and demo_3 is e: drive with 700 Gb.<br />
<br />
Since Demo_1 is C:\ and system partition, I have to attach it to IDE 0. Since IDE 1 was attached with CD-ROm, does this means that I have to attach demo_2 and demo_3 to SCSI?

Since 2012 supports vhdx, shall I have to convert these vhd file to vhdx before use them?

Few physical servers need to be converted into VM to be use in MS Hyper-v virtualization environment. The host is using ms windows 2012 server. Besides SCVMM, any recommended reliable tools to do the conversions?

What tools to use for p2v conversion for hyper-v?

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

Hyper-V is a native hypervisor; it can create virtual machines on x86-64 systems and supersedes Windows Virtual PC as the hardware virtualization component of the client editions of Windows NT. A server computer running Hyper-V can be configured to expose individual virtual machines to one or more networks. Hyper-V Server supports remote access via Remote Desktop Connection. Administration and configuration of the host OS and the guest virtual machines is generally done over the network.
