Moving a logical server from a Microsoft Hyper-V R2 host to a Hyper-V R1 host is not
supported
A limitation from Microsoft prevents you from moving or reactivating a virtual machine
logical server from a Microsoft Hyper-V R2 host to a Hyper-V R1 host. An error message
is displayed if you attempt the operation.
You can move or reactivate a virtual machine logical server from a Hyper-V R1 host to
a Hyper-V R2 host.
NOTE: The Hyper-V host version is shown in the Platform column in the Available
Target Hosts table on the activate or move logical server target screen. The host is a
Hyper-V R1 host if the host version begins with 6.0 (for example, 6.0.6001 or 6.0.6002
in Windows 2008 Server – Hyper-V SP1 or Windows 2008 Server – Hyper-V SP2).
The host is a Hyper-V R2 host if the host version begins 6.1 (for example, 6.1.7077 in
Windows Server 2008 R2).
Suggested action
Be certain that you want to move or reactivate the logical server from Microsoft Hyper-V
R1 to R2 before you complete the operation. After the operation completes, you cannot
move or reactivate the logical server back to Hyper-V R1.
Multiple storage volume limitations
The 7.3 release added support for VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines using multiple
data stores. The specification of storage volume names for VM disks is restricted in the
following cases:
• Integrity VM disks must either specify the same storage volume name or not specify
a name at all.
• Cloud server disks must not specify a storage volume name.
