I had a need to move the folder that I was storing my VMs on a replication server. For example from D:\Hyper-V to E:\Hyper-V. Needless to say, things did not go well and I ended up having to turn off, the turn on replication for each VM and do an initial copy even though the "old" VMDKs where in the replication folder.
Here's what I did, all from the replication server;
1) Paused Replication for each VM
2) Moved the folder
3) Under Hyper-V Settings on the replication server, change the VM and VM Disk folder path
4) Changed the virtual page file settings and a few other settings pointing to the old folder.
5) Resume replication
After the resume, there where errors in the log file about not being able to find the disks. I rebooted the host machine after which the Hyper-V manager said it couldn't find the VMs at all and gave me little choice but to delete them. The VMs on the replication server had never been failed over, testing or otherwise.
Suggestions?
TIA
