If all 3 are present the system is instantly activated, does not communicate with MS to determine if activation is valid or to activate against a MS server.
These keys are not specific to a particular OEM and are interchangeable. A Windows product key that tells the system to use OEM activation instead of the traditional Microsoft activation process.These certificate files are unique to each OEM so Dell has their own, HP has their own, etc. A certificate file that matches up against the “SLIC” string that is stored in the BIOS.
Home built systems will not (unless you modify the bios yourself)
The bios of the system must contain what is called a “SLIC” string, all systems made by a major OEM such as Dell, HP will include this. In windows Vista, 7, server 2008, 2008r2, and server 2012 OEM activation is accomplished by the combination of 3 elements. This is due that Microsoft doesn't support Windows 2003 and XP anymore.I recently came across a system that had been rebuilt and the activation was not re-applied so after 90/120 days the system started reporting it was not genuine and realized a few of you may not know how to re-apply OEM activation. There are some blogs on how to get Windows 2003 to work but not offically supported.Īs for NGT the OS needs to be 64 bit and Windows 2008 R2/Windows 7 or later is only supported. Here is a list of support VM types on AHV We also have this KB with more details steps The main key would to be to install VirtIO driver before moving the VM over. If you have other VM's that aren't using UEFI then you can import those without an issue. The UEFI in the doc is only supported from Hyper-v to AHV not VMware. If the vm isn't using UEFI then the whole vm will convert fine. There is an issue for UEFI on VMware to AHV. Whilst not officially supported, can I use this for my WIndows XP and Server 2003 VMs? I also read the system requirements for the Nutanix Guess Tools. If so, short of rebuilding the VMs, can I import the VMDK files somehow? The following option requires supported versions of AHV (version 20160127 and later) and AOS (version 4.6.1 and later).Īcli vm.update vm_id uefi_boot=True As I am running Esxi 5.5 I guess the above does not apply. To start a UEFI-enabled guest VM, configure each VM with the aCLI option uefi_boot=True. Generation 2 (Gen 2) Windows VMs in Hyper-V. I saw the reference that says the following:-įor AOS 4.6.1 and later, you can migrate VMs that use UEFI to start (boot). In AHV to create a UEFI vm add the following to a VM before installing the OS We have a portal doc on how to migrate from esxi to AHVĬurrently it's not supported to migrate esxi UEFI enabled VMs to AHV directly.
