GEN2

Acronis Cloud Migration: When migrating my VM's the boot disk is being changed from SCSI to IDE. How can I maintain SCSI boot disk and ensure that the VM's are converted as Gen 2?

Issue

VM's boot disk is being changed from SCSI to IDE when I am using the Acronis V2V Easy Converter to migrate VMs from VMware to Hyper-V. I want to maintain SCSI boot disk and ensure that the VMs are converted as Gen 2. How do I do that?

Resolution

The V2V converter will select the generation type based on the ESXi VM firmware type. If the firmware type is "BIOS" it will convert as GEN1, if it is UEFI it will convert as GEN2.
