Virtual migration tool

Before you can restore Windows system image to virtual machine, you should do following things on your physical computer:. If you are going to restore system image to multiple VMs, please try PXE boot tool to start up all the VMs without repetitively connecting and disconnecting the bootable drive. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. It can only convert physical drives to virtual disks.

It will not build a VM, nor will it create any configuration. Follow the instructions below to perform P2V migration with Disk2vhd:. Then, follow the wizard to convert a physical computer to a VM. You should now disconnect the physical server from your network to prevent accidentally running it while the VM version is running. Specify the resource group in which the Azure VMs reside after migration.

VMs must conform with Azure requirements. If you want to select a different availability option for a sets of virtual machines, go to step 1 and repeat the steps by selecting different availability options after starting replication for one set of virtual machines.

Then click Next. In Review and start replication , review the settings, and click Replicate to start the initial replication for the servers. You can't change settings after replication starts. If this is the first VM you're replicating in the project, Server Migration automatically provisions these resources, in same resource group as the project.

When delta replication begins, you can run a test migration for the VMs, before running a full migration to Azure. We highly recommend that you do this at least once for each machine, before you migrate it. We recommend you use a non-production VNet. The machine name has a suffix -Test. After the test is done, right-click the Azure VM in Replicating machines , and click Clean up test migration. After you've verified that the test migration works as expected, you can migrate the on-premises machines.

After the job finishes, you can view and manage the VM from the Virtual Machines page. Investigate the cloud migration journey in the Azure Cloud Adoption Framework. Skip to main content.
