Hello,
we want to use Microsoft Systemcenter VMM to migrate vms from a vmare cluster ot a hyper-v cluster. Both clusters are connected VMM and the vms are imported. 
The hyper-v files are to be stored on a CSV.

Hyper-V Cluster is 2022 Datacenter with a SAS Storage.

Other VMs which we created on the cluster itself are working fine.

Migrating a vm failes after a few seconds with an error 2912:
Error (2912)
An internal error has occurred trying to contact the 'xxx.xxx.xxx' server: : .

WinRM: URL: [http://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx:5985], Verb: [INVOKE], Method: [GetProgress], Resource: [http://schemas.microsoft.com/wbem/wsman/1/wmi/root/scvmm/HttpPostDeploymentJob?InstanceID=https://xxxxx.xxx.xxx:443//folder/XXXXXX/XXXXXX.vmdkA3fdsName=DC-LUN3/C:A5cClusterStorageA5cVolume1A5cHyper-VA5cvmwareimportsA5cXXXX-3A5cXXXXX.vhd/] 

The media is write protected (0x80070013)

Recommended Action
Check that WS-Management service is installed and running on server 'XXXX.XXXXXXX.XXX'. For more information use the command "winrm helpmsg hresult". If 'XXXX.XXXXXXXXX.XXX' is a host/library/update server or a PXE server role then ensure that VMM agent is installed and running. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 for more details.

The steps in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2742275 did not solve the problem. 

The vmm and the agents on both Hyper-V servers is running as a domainuser that is in the local admin group on all servers. Switching the windows firewall off for testing purposes did not solve the problem.

It would be great if someone colud give us a hint how to solve this situation.
