Import virtual machine files with a .OVA Segura application on Microsoft Windows Server servers that use the Hyper-V role.

To perform a Segura virtual machine import, the following steps must be performed:

Segura Virtual Machine Importation

  • Import Segura OVA on Virtualbox or Vmware;
  • Export a virtual machine in OVF format;
  • In this process, a virtual hard disc file will be extracted. This file has a VMDK format. However, for a virtual machine to be created on Hyper-V the VHD or VDHx format should be used ;

Virtual Machine Image File Conversion

  1. Download the Microsoft Virtual Machine Convert;
  2. Import the converter in PowerShell;
  3. Execute the following commands on PowerShell to load the Windows conversion module;
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Import-Module 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter\MvmcCmdlet.psd1'
  1. Convert the file from .vmdk format to .vhdx through the following command;
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk -SourceLiteralPath d:\ss-andrew-v3-24042017\ss-andrew-v3-24042017-disk1.vmdk -VhdType DynamicHardDisk -VhdFormat vhdx -destination d:\ss-andrew-v3-24042017

The following message will be displayed:

Destination
-----------
d:\ss-andrew-v3-24042017\ss-andrew-v3-24042017-disk1.vhdx
Source
------
d:\ss-andrew-v3-24042017\ss-andrew-v3-24042017-disk1.vmdk

Segura Virtual Machine Creation and Initialization

On Hyper-V, create a virtual machine and indicate the disc on .vhdx format.

Start the Segura virtual machine on the Hyper-V environment.
