HSNM on Microsoft Azure/Hyper-V
Posted: 02 Mar 2021, 09:38
Dear All,
Azure (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Azure) doesn't support natively OVA/OVF format.
So in order to import the HSNM OVA appliance, you need to convert it:
- download our OVA file.
- install Oracle VirtualBox that comes with the program VBoxManage.exe (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads) .
- import the OVA file by unticking convert disk to VDI You specify the original disk file, in this case the .vmdk, and then give a location and name to output the .vhd.
- Open a cmd prompt, CD to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox or Virtualbox install directory and then run:
VBoxManage.exe clonehd --format vhd "C:\where is the vm VMDK disk\disk1.vmdk" "C:\where to put the new converted disk\disk1.vhd"
Now the new disk.vhd is ready to be imported inside the Azure infrastructure by following Microsoft official guide.
Have a nice day all.
PS.
This guide is useful even for Microsoft Hyper-V
