12.2 Planning for Migration to Microsoft Hyper-V

Use PlateSpin Migrate Client to migrate workloads to Microsoft Hyper-V virtual hosts. PlateSpin Migrate Web Interface does not support migration to Hyper-V virtual hosts.

You can use Hyper-V as the target virtualization platform in fully automated workload virtualization. You can use VMs in Hyper-V as targets for semi-automated (X2P) migrations.

Your source workload must be supported by PlateSpin Migrate and Hyper-V.

See Microsoft Windows Server with Hyper-V in Table 2-14, Supported Target Virtualization Platforms for the Migrate Client Only.

For semi-automated (X2P) migrations to VMs on Hyper-V, see also Section 25.0, Prerequisites for Semi-Automated (X2P) Migrations.

Your network environment must meet the requirements for access, discovery, and migration described in Access and Communication Requirements across your Migration Network.

For Hyper-V target VMs with synthetic adapter, you cannot set an MTU value that is less than 1500.

For semi-automated migrations in the Migrate Client, ensure that you configure volumes on the target disks with about 50 MB of additional storage space than the source disks.
