Important information on converted Microsoft Hyper-V virtual machines
Handling of physical and virtual machine disks (SAN Policy and status)
Physical machine (source):
• For the purpose of the conversion, the source physical machine’s SAN Policy is always set to ‘OnlineAll’ (if this is not its current setting). It will be returned to its original setting (if necessary) after the conversion is performed. This is transparent to the end-user.
• When DS-Client connects to the target physical machine, only disks with ‘Online’ status will be converted.
• Any disk that is ‘Offline’ will not be converted. The only way to ensure conversion of an ‘Offline’ disk is to manually change the status of such a disk to ‘Online’ before running the conversion.
Virtual machine (converted):
• The converted virtual machine’s SAN Policy is always set to ‘OnlineAll’.
• All disks that have been converted for the virtual machine will have ‘Online’ status.
