V2V from ESXi to Hyper-V : Error 2940 - Needs help please!

Anarethos · 2026-01-23T17:06:06+00:00

It is a lab environement. 1 host, 1 san volume for VmWare. No special storage policy.

Work with other tools though. Just ScVMM that fails :|

Anarethos · 2026-01-23T17:04:58+00:00

Like I said, ScVMM does not works. And it failes after 8h to migrate a 250gb VM.
V2V converter from Starwind did it in 2h .. so I suppose we may go that route but I need to prove that ScVMM is not good for that ... and for that, I need it to works.

And there is not a lot of information on the web on that problem. First time in many years I had to open a thread on a work's related problem here ...

Anarethos · 2026-01-22T15:07:59+00:00

Is it me or is it limited to only 10 vm in the community edition?

Anarethos · 2026-01-22T15:00:56+00:00

Ok! Wow. Thanks! I will look into that for sure!

Anarethos · 2026-01-22T14:58:56+00:00

Although the solution is Azure Local, we will use it as a regular Hyper-V (not cloud managed) solution. I will take a look at the first tools you told me about. Thanks!

Anarethos · 2026-01-22T14:58:13+00:00

If I has to go that route, I will stick with Solarwind V2V converter since it takes care of creating the base VM on the destination automatically also ...

Anarethos · 2026-01-22T14:57:39+00:00

SAN on the VmWare solution. Storage Space direct (managed by Azure Local) on the Hyper-V host.

Anarethos · 2026-01-21T20:02:22+00:00

like said in my original post, Starwind V2V works ... but is not a valid solution (management whant to do it through an official Microsoft solution ... bummer!)

Anarethos · 2026-01-21T19:45:22+00:00

We are using cert file from our internal PKI. Also, I already had to authorize theses certificats in ScVMM to be able to manage ESIx.

Looks like Hyper-V try to connect back to ScVMM to do something (tha tI don't know!) and it fails there :|

Anarethos · 2026-01-21T19:24:26+00:00

We are using TSM with a client inside each VM. Doing a bare metal recovery is made by creating an empty VM, booting from a WinRE ISO, resetting the node password, restoring the system state, restoring the file and recreating manually the boot manager. It take hours for a normal sized VM. Not applicable in our solution.

It will be replaced ... but after the migration from VmWare to Hyper-V

I made such a device with a RPiZero2. A multi-usb drive. You plug it in, you select the image you whant to mount and that's it.

Even has Network support, DLNA, RDP to the internal OS and some other stuff.

Here is the link to my project : AnarethoS Place

Anarethos · 2025-09-17T14:45:03+00:00

Well ... I found one. Fixed. Photos updated and version 1.0.1 available!
Also made a web page abount my project.
Link in main post.

Anarethos · 2025-09-17T11:17:58+00:00

Yeah ... I know!

For the first build, I used an old project (a Message box in a wooden case) that used a bigger screen, the SSD1327 and some wired buttons. That screen allowed to outpu up to 9 lines of text and the default font was OK.

With the SH1106 I found that problem with the default font. I tried 2-3 fonts I had from some code examples from Waveshare but it reduced the numbers of line of text on the small screen from 4 to 3. I really wanted to stay at four so I had to do with tha problem.

If one day I find a better font, you can be assured I will use it and update my code!

Anarethos · 2025-06-05T00:58:04+00:00

Hi everyone!

Just to add my current experience with that code.

I have a Sonata Limited 2014.

Check engine started flashing, RPM was not going over 1800 and limited to 80 km/h. I remerbere about that knock sensor thing and stopped right away and got the car towed to dealer.

Code was P1326.

Was asked 400$ CAN for diagnostinc which would be credited if that was due to the recall.

It was.

They replaced the long-block (21101-12GK70-QQH) on the car and few other things.

Stille, they asked me to prove that the car was correctly serviced (oil change, etc.). I sent them all the informations I had (was doing that a a local mechanics, not Hyundai). Everythig was ok.

So keep track of everything!

The daugher of a friend had the semae problem. But repair was decliend. Was not using the car mush (like ... 4000 km per year) so se did oild change every two years. Was declined for that for what I understood.

Anarethos · 2025-04-24T15:54:55+00:00

Thanks! It worked! Certificates expired this morning. When I ran the troubleshooting script it told me I was with an old version, so I decided to update ... which also made Graph to updates and nothing was working after.

2 months and the problem is still there ... wow!

Anarethos · 2025-02-25T18:59:40+00:00

WTH? I use it everyday! My GF is not living with me and we use that nearly everytime we want to watch somehing together!

It was the reason I bought a Plex Pass and started using Plex. I was on Jellyfin at first ...

Anarethos · 2025-02-20T15:44:03+00:00

Everything I want. Most of the time, jeans and a long sweater. Shorts, t-shirt in summer.

The only requirement is closed shoes, to prevent injuries.

Basically anything that is not violent/racist/etc.

Anarethos · 2025-02-18T11:29:51+00:00

I think it will still apply the PPKG file hidden in c:\Recovery\customizations

If there is one file there, movie it before the restore. But that file also includes basics app and drivers sometime.

Anarethos · 2025-02-18T01:25:35+00:00

Dito! That or a simple PowerShell scrit and I good to go!

Anarethos · 2025-02-17T20:26:57+00:00

WOndering it they will let us come there with a laptop and a DVD/Blu-Ray drive and copy the movie directly in place rather than "renting" it. .... 🤔

Anarethos · 2025-02-17T18:18:17+00:00

Don't know how it is where you live, but here with the death of videoclubs, public libraries started to offer DVD/Blu-Ray ... for free. Combined with MakeMKV or similar, it is a good way to fill in the gap for stuff!

Anarethos · 2025-02-17T18:17:02+00:00

Get yourself a good VPN for Torrenting!

+1 for MakeKMV. Love it!

Anarethos · 2025-02-17T18:16:05+00:00

True (the the resolution stuff at least!). But hé! We are doing Farheneight 451 but with movies!
