Can I create the new Virtual Machine on Azure from on-premises Hyper-V site's virtual machine more better way ?
I want to create the new Virtual Machine on Azure for Migration without stop on-premises Hyper-V's virtual machine.

Recovery Setup: Between an on-premises Hyper-V Site and Azure.

Now, I create test failover/capture/create by image like the following way.

Step 1. Test Failover by Azure Site Recovery

  The virtual machine at on-premises Hyper-V site do test failover to create the virtual machine on Azure.

Step 2. Capture by Azure Virtual Machine

  The virtual machine capture to create a image without sysprep.

Step 3. Create by Azure Virtual Machine

  New virtual machine create from the image.

Thanks Yoshishiro for thinking out aloud. Looks like it might work but we have never tried it yet. Is there a scenario you are trying to address? TFO without turning off the VM means a crash consistent copy so there might be data loss.

You can raise a new request here http://feedback.azure.com/forums/256299-site-recovery if you have some scenario in mind.

If someone tries it we will let you know! :)

Thank you,

Hi Ruturaj.

My scenario is short downtime migration from on-premises Hyper-V site to Azure.

Step 1. New Azure Virtual Machine with Azure Site Recovery's test-failover and capture.
Step 2. Verify the Azure Virtual Machine for Azure environment
Step 3. Migration data from on-premises Hyper-V site's virtual machine to Azure.

and I feedback "consistent test failover".
