hello, everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to migrate an infrastructure mounted on Azure Stack HUB to Azure Stack HCI.

Do you have an informative link?

I was looking and would I have to implement everything from 0 in Azure Stack HCI? What would the migration process be like?

Could you help me find a way at least? Thank you very much!!

    Do you mean migrating VMs running on AZS Hub to AZS HCI or something else?
    If you're indeed talking about VMs, that would basically be "migrating Azure VMs to HyperV" , as described here for example : https://mharwood.uk/migrating-an-azure-vm-to-hyperv-or-vmware/
    That process can of course be scripted if you need to migrate a large amount of VMs.
    AZS Hub backup tools such as Commvault could also make that process easier because they are capable of restoring to different hypervisors (such as hyperv).

    Hi Ezequi,

    I think the best place to get these answers will be from your Microsoft representative or Account Manager, usually someone should be able to assist you with the design and whether it is possible or not.

    As Azure Stack HCI is Hyperconverged Infra and Azure Stack Hub is Cloud Native solution so there should be some way to integrate via the Azure VNET and Gateways.

    So I suggest you gather all the queries from your MS Account Manager.

    Dear @Ezequiel Gustavo Muñoz ,

    There is no such native migration solution for Azure Stack Hub to azure stack HCI. There is a way to migrate to azure public cloud though, if you can treat your azure stack hub VMs (Windows and Linux) just like physical servers, you can use azure migrate, which is one of the azure services generally used by customers migrating to azure from on-premises. Like @JimmySalian-2011 suggested, you can get in touch with your account manager from Microsoft to understand the options.
