Hello,
I am facing issues about VM live moving.
I am running two Hyper-V standalone server. These physical servers are in the same VLAN (no firewall issue) and they are joined to the same Active Directory domain.
The first Hyper-V server (the oldest one) is running Windows Server 2012 Standard. The second Hyper-V server (the new one) is running Windows Server 2022 Standard.

I can export and import VM without troubles, however live migration failed.

I enabled migration and I am trying to move VMs using "Shared-Nothing Live Migration" using Kerberos.
I followed some guides as:

  1. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/virtualization/hyper-v/manage/use-live-migration-without-failover-clustering-to-move-a-virtual-machine
  2. https://techiemaster.wordpress.com/2016/06/30/live-vm-migration-between-hyper-v-without-shared-storage-step-by-step-procedure/

Unfortunately I am always get thise error:

I got this error message via PowerShell

PS C:\Users\Administrator.COMPANY> Move-VM SVR-01 HYPER-V-01 -IncludeStorage -DestinationStoragePath D:\HYPER-V\SVR-01
Move-VM : Virtual machine migration operation for 'SVR-01' failed at migration destination 'HYPER-V-01'. (Virtual
machine ID ...........)
The operation cannot be performed because the object is not in a valid state.

  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidObjectState,Microsoft.HyperV.PowerShell.Commands.MoveVMCommand

Finally I enabled CPU compatibility, this attempt did not solve my problem.

The old server has got Intel Xeon CPU, the new server has got Intel Xeon Gold CPU.

Is there a way to solve the issue?
