convert VMWARE to Hyper-V
Hi Experts,
I am working in a project to migrate many VMs to HYPER-V.
I have some questions regarding this.
1. How can I migrate the VM from VMWARE to HYPER-V ?
2. Is a migration possible without having access to the vcenter ?
3. How long does it take ?
4. What about other ways to migrate ?
Thanks

Hi,
thanks for info.
I have tested the MVMC from Microsoft. Here we need access to the vcenter.
In our case this is not possible, because of an insourcing project.
Do you agree ?

MVMC does use vCenter Server, but I've posted other methods which do not.
So no vCenter no MVMC, use another method.

please can you tell me which one I can use without vcenter access ?
All of them except MVMC.

ok I will look into it.
Maybe you have a link from VEEAM to see it in a video ?

If you want to use Veeam, you will need to setup Veeam backup server first and install both ESXi agent and Hyper-V agent on source/destination hosts.
Then you will need to backup the VMware VMs and restore it on Hyper-V host.
It is not a simple solution but that's reliable.
Check out here for video guide, but you will need to watch quite a lot of topics to make the things done: https://www.veeam.com/how-to-videos.html
