Hi,
We have some servers running hyper-v however the previous administrator took wayyy too many snapshots on the hyper-v and i do not know if some of them might be corrupted.
We are also trying to migrate it to a failover cluster but there's just too many AVHD files to merge.
the virtual machine is still running, worst in production.(so it hasn't been shutdown for years for the AVHD to merge)
i thought of a solution which is to clone out the VM.. probably faster than waiting for the snapshots to merge or maually trying to find and merge the VHD with snapshots...
Recreate the virutal machine(a new VHD) on the failover cluster manager and restore back to the new VM .
The question are these.
Will ghost 11.5 be able to clone VM running in hyper-v hypervisor?
Will ghosts 11.5 be able and restore the cloned VM back into the hyper-v hypervisor?
Note:
Server is running windows server 2008R2
Services : IIS , MS SQL.
We will be able to shutdown the server for cloning
Time is crucial as server is in production.
