Microsoft has announced that a new beta version of its Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter Plug-in for VMware vSphere Client version 1.0 is now available on Microsoft Connect.
The
Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter (MVMC) Plug-in for VMware vSphere
Client is a Microsoft-supported solution for IT pros or solution
providers who want to convert VMware-based virtual machines to Microsoft
Hyper-V-based virtual machines from vSphere Client. This plug-in
extends vSphere Client to facilitate conversions from a virtual machine
context menu and without changing configurations on the source VMware
host.
The latest version builds upon Microsoft Virtual Machine Converter release
candidate, which:
- Converts and deploys virtual machines from VMware hosts to Hyper-V hosts running:
- Windows Server 2012 Release Candidate
- Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2012 Release Candidate
- Adds virtual network interface cards (NICs) to the converted virtual machine on Hyper-V.
- Configures dynamic memory on the converted virtual machine.
- Supports migration of virtual machines that are hosted on a vSphere cluster.
- Supports migration of virtual machines to a Hyper-V host that is part of a failover cluster.
- Enables Microsoft partners to cobrand the tool so that it incorporates their logos.
