Subject: Re: [Openstack] [HyperV][xen] Porting Windows disk_image from xen to HyperV

I forgot to mention that I found this doc mentioning how to migrate http://jeff-brady.blogspot.com.br/2011/12/linux-on-hyper-v-migrate-redhat-vm-from.html

*But* I'm more concerned for the aspect of driver-wise.
Technically a xen-to-hyperV image will boot, would it be auto-suficient?

I mean, would I have to reinstall all drivers ?

thanks
