httpslidepdfcomreaderfullphysical-to-virtual-p2v 18
This guide demonstrates how to virtualize a physical machine running It requires a VMM
managing at least one Hyper-V host available for placement The physical machine must be
connected to the same network as the Hyper-V host and the VMM server for successful conversion
Additionally local or domain administrative credentials are required The process is initiated from the
VMM console and is completed using the wizard Powershell script included
Select Convert Physical Machine from the Create Virtual Machine dropdown in VMM
Specify the computer you wish to virtualize providing valid credentials with appropriate privilege

Name the virtual machine that will be created as the container of the virtualized physical machine
This does not have to match the hostname of the computer Provide a description if desired
Scan the system (by clicking Scan System)
Review the scan results and proceed if details appear as expected Take note of network adapters for
setting up VM networks later in the wizard

Configure the volumes to be converted to VHDs Note that system volumes are mandatory
Verify the VM Configuration ndash Number of processors and Memory These default values will reflect
the physical systemrsquos configuration and may be changed based on current needs For example if a sys-
tem is under P2V as a cheaper alternative to a memory upgrade you may increase the memory here
if it is available It would not be advised to choose a lower value here to ensure functionality of the vir-
tualized system as to the original physical machine as possible
Choose a server for placement with at least a 1-star rating A zero-star rating indicates an incompati-
ble system configuration such as invalid network configuration insufficient memory host not re-
sponding or other similar problems
