Solus VM Notes

Last Updated: March 2, 2015

Migrating Hyper-V to KVM

• Create the VPS in Solus/WHMCS, we will replace the image that it makes with the VHDX.
• Stop the Hyper-V VM and make a copy of the VHDX file.
• Move .vhdx file over to the server (HTTP or SFTP)
• Convert the VHDX to a raw image file (.img)

qemu-img convert -f vhdx -O raw /mnt/transfer/virtualdisk.vhdx /mnt/transfer/virtualdisk.img

• Move the image into where solus keeps the VM files.

dd if=/mnt/transfer/virtualdisk.img of=/dev/vm/kvm<id>_img

• Reboot the server on SolusVM
• Reconfigure network, etc.
