Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Migration Question to Hyper-V

[Steve]

Question from Reader

 

Hi MrGroove,

 

I have read your article "Migrate Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 VM to Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V" and it was worth reading and a very good info.

I want to ask is there any possibility to migrate Live Windows 2003 or Vista etc in Windows 2008 hyper-v?

 

Hope to hear from you soon.

 

Hey there - I'm not sure I follow your question 100%. Are you asking if you can "live migrate" or "vmotion in VMWare lingo" a Server 2003 box or Vista box once you get all your boxes in Windows Server 2007 Hyper-V? If that's your question then yes. You will however need to upgrade to Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V as Live migration is only supported in R2.

 

If that's not your question, let me know.

yeah it can be but there are requirements to be finish first.

 

there should be compatibility of your system.
