Starwind V2v Converter Free

[Damaris]

StarWindV2V Converter / P2V Migrator is a free software for cloning and transforming VMs from one format to another, as well as converting physical machines into virtual ones. It is utilized when migration or Hypervisor Switch is required. Compared to the typical converters built into hypervisors, StarWind V2V Converter / P2V Migrator offers bi-directional conversion between all the major VM formats: VMDK, VHD/VHDX (Windows Repair Mode aware), QCOW2, and StarWind native IMG.

StarWind V2V Converter has numerous competitive gains over converters built into your standard hypervisors. First, it supports bi-directional VM conversion between various hypervisor vendor formats. To save time during migration and Hypervisor Switch, V2V Converter allows to convert VMs directly from one hypervisor server to another without creating an extra VM disk copy. On top of that, you can easily migrate your vital host VM images between different hypervisor servers without any data loss or corruption. Want to convert local files? V2V can do that, too.

StarWind V2V Converter enables the conversion of a physical machine into a virtual one that resides on a Hyper-V, ESXi, Xen Project, or another industry-standard hypervisor server. It allows converting physical disks or volumes into a variety of formats: VHD/VHDX, VMDK, QCOW, and IMG/RAW. Simply start StarWind V2V Converter on a physical machine and convert it into a virtual one located on a remote server. Data consistency is preserved throughout the migration.

You also have the ability to convert your physical volumes, disks, or entire physical machines into instances in the public cloud without any intermediary steps. Boot up StarWind V2V Converter on your physical machine, choose the desired physical source, opt for Amazon Web Services or Microsoft Azure (the cloud of your choice) and press convert. The process is quick and safe, eliminating any chances of data corruption or loss thanks to VSS snapshots.

Whatever the hypervisor, StarWind V2V will easily convert your virtual resources to cloud instances in a public cloud in a snap. All popular virtualization formats are supported for this feature as well. Select any virtual disk or VM on your remote hypervisor server, choose AWS or Azure (depending on what you use), and see the magic unfold.

Finally, our solution can convert and migrate smoothly between AWS and Azure! Abiding by the same bi-directional principle, you can easily switch to or bounce between these public cloud services, shifting your VMs and disks how you want them. Again, no copies or extra space is required: the process occurs directly from cloud to cloud, securing solid data safety and integrity.

StarWind V2V Converter / P2V Migrator alleviates the risk of data corruption during conversion by working with a copy of the target VM, keeping the original file intact. The utility uses VSS snapshots while carrying out P2V migration. In this way, the machine state is consistent, and any chance of data corruption or loss is avoided. StarWind can also replicate the virtual drives across multiple nodes in the cluster to ensure constant uptime of your data using StarWind VSAN.

StarWind V2V Converter, P2V Migrator is a free download tool that allows the conversion and cloning of VMs from one format to another and is utilized when migration or hypervisor switch is required. Compared to typical converters built into hypervisors, StarWind V2V Converter performs bi-directional conversion between multiple VM formats.

StarWind Dedupe Analyzer is a free portable tool that helps virtualization admins to see if they get any benefit from deduplication without actually applying Log-Structuring and deduplication. It works as a simple wizard, does not require installation, and works with local Windows folders as well as network shares.

StarWind Tape Redirector is a free download tool that eliminates tape interface distance restrictions and allows the connection of virtual machines to physical tape infrastructure. This turns bulky tape infrastructure into a virtualization-aware flexible backup system. StarWind Tape Redirector provides a connection to the drives and libraries from anywhere in the world via iSCSI protocol and simplifies the management tape backup in a virtualized environment.

StarWind iSCSI Accelerator is a free software for smart virtualized workload distribution between all available CPU cores. It is developed for Hyper-V environments, where Microsoft iSCSI Initiator cannot leverage workloads effectively.

For source VMDK I have 2 options: VMDK and Flat VMDK. I know the difference between the 2, but which file is the correct one to pick in StarWind converter? If I choose the descriptor VMDK (1KB size), the converter still understands to work on the actual flat VMDK. So any difference what file to select?

Right now I have guest OSes on ESXi configured to boot in BIOS. I want to have Gen2 VMs / VHDX files on the Hyper-V. What is the most optimal, cleanest and less intrusive route for this conversion? Should I convert VMDK to VHD/Gen1 VM, then convert to Gen2/VHDX, or is there a better way, skipping the Gen1 step?

If possible, I like to create brand new VMs and then transfer the workload. AD, SQL and other apps support this nicely. It means you have a fresh OS, a fresh registry untainted by the earlier home in VMware.

I am attempting to move Hyper-V virtual machines to VMWare due to numerous reasons. I am using Starwind Converter and VMWare Standalone converter. I am having an issue with one of the virtual machines whereby upon attempting to convert, I get an error "Invalid Configuration File error" with VMWare Standalone Converter, while I get image error with Starwind Converter. And yet the virtual machine boots well on that host machine. How can i go about resolving this issue.

Morning Andrew. Yes indeed. Installed the VMWare Converter on the host machine running the VM. I had two other virtual machines that completed migration successfully. This one VM is giving me an issue. It is indeed running in Administrator Accoutnt.

In order to migrate to VMware from Hyper-V you have to use StarWind V2V Converter recoding your .vhdx files to .vmdk including hardware patching and probably enabling rescue mode (these are V2V converter features that are crucial for such kind of migrations) to ensure target virtual machine successfully boots after conversion. The only thing left is to create a similar virtual machine on VMware and use the existing (previously converted) disk.
