Escape Hyper‑V: The New Agentless Path to OpenShift Virtualization
summary
Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (Forklift) now connects to Hyper‑V without agents, using WinRM remoting for live VM discovery and SMB or iSCSI disk streaming for block/file data, storing metadata in a local SQLite inventory and driving an automated v2v conversion that replaces Hyper‑V drivers, injects virtio, repairs bootloaders and creates an OpenShift VM. Demo shows preserved static IPs, concurrent migrations planned, and an initial customer migration already completed successfully.
