asked on HYPER-V Relocation
Hi Guys,
we are running a free version of "HYPER-V 2008 R2 baremetal". Previously we only had one hard drive on the host i.e. C:/ drive but this filled up overtime.
Now we put a second drive in which is called D: drive.
My question is how do I migrate my VM from C:/ drive to D:/ drive without disturbing configuration. Anyone has experience with this procedure and tell me with certainty?

In my opinion, the easiest way, which retains configurations and permissions, is to use the hyper-V manage, right click on the VM, choose export and select the new location, then import.

SO where do you export to and then import??
Does it actually export the VHDs or config only?

No snapshots in use. I guess If I only move vhd then the config file will still sit on C:/ drivbe which will get confusing.
Yes, if you move the VHD files only, the config will stay on C:\. If it's confusing you will have to go with export-import method.

Sorry guys, this question isn't abandoned. Will test this on weekend most likely.
