<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
we have single windows 2012r2 server with 2 hyperv servers running on it.<br />
<br />
our raid is getting rather full, and wanted to relocate one of the servers onto a new 1.2tb drive we have just added to the server. we can then expand the hyperv volume size on the remaining server, to gives us some more room.<br />
<br />
we intend to add another raid so we can expand our storage, but for the moment, we are hoping the extra drive will ease our constraint.<br />
<br />
my question is what is the best way of relocating a vm? i have never done this before, and as it is a live production server, wanted to make sure i did it the right way.<br />
<br />
any detailed instructions on this progress would be very much appreciated.<br />
<br />
many thanks

relocating hyper-v virtual drive

Microsoft Virtual Server was a virtualization solution that facilitated the creation of virtual machines on the Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003 operating systems. Virtual machines are created and managed through a web-based interface that relies on Internet Information Services (IIS) or through a Windows client application tool called VMRCplus. Features included Linux guest operating system support, Virtual Disk Precompactor, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), x64 host operating system support, the ability to mount virtual hard drives on the host machine and additional operating systems support, including Windows Vista, and a volume shadow copy writer.

Microsoft Virtual Server

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.
