Have you been lucky enough to stumble upon Warning 3243 when attempting to convert a VMware VM to a Virtual Server or Hyper-V VM in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)?
Yeah? Me too.
Is the opening sentence of this post too long?
Yeah? Tough.
The answer may be as follows (your mileage may vary):
- Backup the original *.vmx (VMware) file
- Open the *.vmx file in the text editor of your choice
- Do a Find/Replace (or a hunt and peck methodology if you’re paranoid like me), replacing any instance of “ide” with “scsi”
- Try the conversion for the tenth time
- Breathe
