Hi Joseph, Hope you're doing well. It seems that you are having trouble importing a Red Hat Linux 9 virtual machine from your local machine to a server's Hyper-V instance. When you try to import the VM on the server, the files don't show up, even though you can import the VM back into your local Hyper-V instance without issues. To import a virtual machine in Hyper-V, you need to follow a few steps. First, you need to export the virtual machine from your local Hyper-V instance. Then, you can import the virtual machine into the server's Hyper-V instance. If you are unable to see the virtual machine files when you try to import the virtual machine into the server's Hyper-V instance, it could be due to several reasons. Here are some things you can try to resolve the issue:
- Ensure that the file path you are using to import the virtual machine is correct. If the file path is incorrect, the virtual machine files will not be visible.
- Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the virtual machine files. If you do not have the necessary permissions, you will not be able to see the virtual machine files.
- : Ensure that the virtual machine files are in the correct format. Hyper-V supports several virtual machine file formats, including VHD, VHDX, and VMDK. If the virtual machine files are not in the correct format, they will not be visible.
- Ensure that the version of Hyper-V on the server is compatible with the version of Hyper-V on your local machine. If the versions are not compatible, you may not be able to import the virtual machine. If none of the above steps work, you can try creating a new virtual machine on the server and attaching the virtual hard disk from the exported virtual machine to the new virtual machine. This will allow you to use the virtual machine on the server without having to import it. I hope this helps! Best Regards, Ian Xue
