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.
