My problems is to move VMs from one physical machine to another machine, I use symantec backup exec to do this, when I finish I have the VMs in a new physical machine, my VMs are still activated, but symantec change the physical path.
path for the xml file
original physical machine
V:\Hyper-v\WORKSTATIONS\Vi 016\Virtua l Machines
new physical machine
R:\Microsoft Hyper-V\Vi016\V\Hyper-v\WO RKSTATIONS \Vi016\Vir tual Machines
symantec add "Microsoft Hyper-V\Vi016\V\"
