We are trying to migrate a CentOS 7.2 VM from a XEN Server to Hyper-V.

It looks like not all partitions have been copied, like /dev/centos/root, ..swap, etc. There also seems to be an issue with /dev/mapper, which point to some RAID or LVM issue.
How did you do the migration?

A backup was made with Acronis Backup Agent. Then imported to Hyper-V using Acronis.
PS: We use LVM.

I don't know if Acronis is meant to / can handle that. Maybe you should look into exporting the VM to an OVF file or something similar, then import that into Hyper-V (provided Hyper-V can import OVF's). Or maybe also the Link below might help:

I was able to fix the issue with Acronis True Backup. Thanks for the help.
Virtualization
Virtualization

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.
