Standby VM of a VM

Corrigun
over 6 years ago

We currently export of one of our physical servers as a standby VM to a DR site. I am thinking of migrating that physical server to virtual by just waiting for a scheduled snapshot, turning off the physical server and turning on the standby VM.

After I do will I be able to simply point the scheduled standby export to a new hypervisor,  let it export a new base and continue on. Basically making a standby VM of a VM instead of a physical.

This machine is running a DB application on 2008r2 and is not a DC.

Any input is appreciated.

    The exported VM is 2008r2. The Hypervisor is HyperV on 2012r2.

    It's probably worth noting that I have previously exported this machine to another HyperV machine also running 2012r2 and it seems to run fine. Although it never went "live" it did not act oddly like this one did.
