You might be able to convert the disks this way, never tried but this is not the supported method of migrating.  The supported way would be to make a clean install using the HyperV VMWare OVF image and then backup and restore config/data etc into the VMWare VM.

 

If you have A-P HA you could do the following:

[ul]
  • Remove HyperV Slave
  • Create VMWare slave and join to cluster and wait for sync to complete.
  • Promote to master and remove HyperV Master
  • Create VMWare Slave and join to cluster[/ul]
