Migrate existing OMV installation to VM

pmhail · 17. Dezember 2013

I want to move my existing OMV 0.5 installation (1x80GB system drive + 3x 2TB data drive RAID 5) to VM hosted on Microsoft Hyper-V server.
I need an advice how to painfully migrate my setup.
Sorry for my poor english.

Why Hyper-V??? :lol:

Are the drives moving to the hyper-v server?? If not, you will need to unshare and unmount the raid array before transferring. You can transfer the system drive using clonezilla (set icds option if using smaller virtual drive for system).

Yes, data drive will move to new server.
Why Hyper-V, because I need for my testing environment, and I will have 4-5 various Windows VM on it, and probably 2 linux VM (OMV + turnkey core).

If the system drive moves with it, then it should boot right up. You will just need to run omv-firstaid (login locally) to get the networking working. If the system drive does not move with it, you just need to clone it to the virtual drive and run omv-firstaid.

Jetzt mitmachen!
