Use bog std hardware in the VM - IDE Drive, Intel network adaptor etc.

If you get that upset over the word "hate", I strongly suggest you stop using 
the internet immediately.

I hate these politically correct whiners who try to dictate what language is 
acceptable, on a worldwide public mailing list...

I won't do that, as windows 2003 server is no more supported by 
Microsoft, since at least July 2015.


I would create a new VM using windows 2008 R2 or 2012/2012 R2, join it 
to the AD domain, then promote it as AD controller, then demote the 
old server.


My two cents.

Alain



Can't do that unless you're running 2003R2. Straight 2003 can't be 
joined by much.

Re: [PVE-User] P2V Windows2003 Server (AD)

[Adam Thompson]

My usual approach nowadays is - assuming either downtime can be tolerated or 
it's a DC (in which case you *must* endure the downtime) :
- prepare a new blank VM using IDE disks only, that otherwise matches the 
physical hardware as closely as possible (# of disks, etc.)
- install the IDE registry patch on the Windows server
- install all the VirtIO drivers if possible on the Windows server
- preinstall the QEMU Agent (Spice Agent) on the Windows server
- boot the VM using sysresccd
- boot the Physical server using sysresccd
- do something along the lines of:

  nc -l 12345 | gunzip | pv -pterabW > /dev/sda # on the VM
  pv -pterabW /dev/sda | gzip -1 | nc 8.8.8.8 12345 # on the physical server
 
# you could probably substitute "dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 status=progress" for the 
"pv" command if you prefer.
# If you're doing this over 100Mbps, definitely keep a compression program 
in-line.  If you're doing this over gigabit, it depends on how fast your CPUs 
are - no compression might be faster.  At 10ge, skip the compression step 
altogether.

- repeat, serially, for each physical (& virtual) disk.
- poweroff the physical server
- boot the VM

...done.

Basically, I'm taking extra time and extra disk space to just do a straight 
byte-wise copy of the windows server disks.  This makes the process slow but 
nearly bulletproof.  Once the P2V has succeeded, then  you can use PVE's "Move 
Disk" to move it to a QCOW2 file and re-sparsify the disk.

I've done via windows full backup and restore in the past.


Use bog std hardware in the VM - IDE Drive, Intel network adaptor etc.
