Migrating volumes belonging to Hyper-V virtual machines

Use this procedure to migrate volumes belonging to Hyper-V virtual machines.

Ensure that the disk groups that you want to migrate are imported on the system where you run this procedure.

To migrate volumes belonging to Hyper-V virtual machines

  1. Launch VEA from Start > All Programs > Veritas > Veritas Storage Foundation > Veritas Enterprise Administrator or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu in the Start screen.

    Connect to the local system.

  2. Launch the Storage Migration Wizard.

    Right-click localhost and then click Migrate Storage.

    Or, select localhost and then on the menu bar, click Actions > Migrate Storage.

  3. Review the prerequisites on the welcome panel and then click Next.
  4. On the Storage Component Selection panel, select Migrate volumes used by Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines, and select the desired virtual machine from the drop-down list.
  5. Click Next to navigate to the Disk Group Volume Selection panel. You can select one or more volumes for online migration. The Select all volumes option is selected by default. Clear the Select all volumes option and press Ctrl+click if you want to select one or more volumes for online migration. Click Next.
  6. On the Disk Group Volume Target Selection panel, you can select the source volumes and the corresponding target disks to migrate volumes. The Select all volumes check box is selected by default. Clear the Select all volumes check box to map target disks to individual volumes and Change layout if desired. Press Ctrl+click to select multiple target disks.
    • All selected source volumes can migrate to any target disks if the Select all volumes option is selected.

    • If you select the Select all volumes option, you do not have the option to change the layout. The layout can be changed only on selecting individual volumes.

    • If you select the Change layout check box and opt to change the layout of the volume, the target layout column gets populated with the selected layout, otherwise Unchanged is displayed.

    Click Next to go to the Summary panel.

    Unless the validation status of all the volumes shows Success, the GUI does not navigate to the next panel. The validation status column is populated when you click Next on the Disk Group Volume Target Selection panel.

  7. On the Summary panel, the mapping of the source volumes and target disks is shown based on the selection done on the previous panel. The Storage migration summary panel displays the name of the disk group, the source volumes, target layout and the target disks.

    If the Select all option is selected then the summary is shown in the form of a grouping of source volumes and target disks. If the Select all option is unchecked, the individual selected volumes and assigned target disks are displayed on the Summary panel.

    The Save Summary option on the Summary panel lets you save the selection summary in an HTML file.

    The default summary file name is StorageMigration_Summary_yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss.html.

    The default location of the file is %allusersprofile%\veritas.

  8. Click Finish to begin the volume migration.
  9. Now check the storage migration status (whether successful or failed) by completing the following on the VEA:
    • Click the Console tab on the bottom panel of the VEA.

    • Verify that separate Subdisk move tasks are created per subdisk.

    • Click the Tasks tab on the VEA to check the tasks progress in the bottom panel of the console.

    • Wait for all Subdisk move tasks to complete.

    • From the Disk View tab verify that all selected volumes are now migrated to the selected destination disks.
