I am unable to successfully migrate a VM from ESX (5.1) to a Hyper-V 2012 R2 host via SCVMM 2012 R2

If I copy the .vmdk and its files over to the SCVMM library server I am able to successfully convert it.  So that is my workaround for now.

Here is the error I get everytime.  It always seems to get at least 50% of the way through the Virtual-to-Virtual conversion step but then fails

Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the myrdshost.local server: : .

WinRM: URL: [http://myrdshost:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetProgress], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/HttpPostDeploymentJob?InstanceID=https://myesxhost:443//folder/SIE-WEBI-02/SIE-WEBI-02.vmdkA3fdsName=PS-DATASTORE4/D:A5chyper-vA5cvmA5cSIE-WEBI-02A5cSIE-WEBI-02.vhd/]

Unknown error (0x80072f78)

Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server myrdshost. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If myrdshost is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.

I can't be the only person with this issue

I am having the exact same issue.  I have tried different versions of ESXi from a base image to a fully updated.  I have also played around with NIC type(1G/10G) and MTU.  The only thing I haven't tried was putting the Hyper-v hosts and ESXi hosts on the same subnet, and that will be next, just to take the routing out of the mix, after that I will mess around with the 10G driver options.  Copying them over and converting local isn't an option for me as some of my virtual disks are 1TB+.  I have about 300 VM's to move..   I am fully patched on the Host side as well as the VMM 2012 R2 side.

If I find out something I will let you know.

I too am having exactly the same issue. Internet searches have gotten me nowhere and this is really annoying. Come on Microsoft. There has to be a solution for this.

I have the same problem but with a different error message:

Error 2925: The device used to access the specified path <VMware-datastore> is not ready on <hyper-v-server>

Copying to Library server does work but with multiple VMs this is not practical. ESXi 5.0 and SCVMM 2012 R2 used and tested with 2008 R2, 2012, 2012 R2 guest OS.

Hi, did you end up getting this resolved?

Regards,

Never did.  Ended up using Veamm with offline VMs for this
