December 26, 20196 yr I have an issue with a VM in Unraid I have setup as a server and its a bit critical that it is up and running in a very powerful server. (Java app with database that VM server cant handle due to system specs..) So I need to make VM into a physical running machine. VM -> actual disk to boot from. Its a work machine, and its critical. So help really appreciated. ( I posted in General as well, I hope thats ok as this is urgent.... ) sorry if its not ok..... So how can I move a VM to Physical hardware in the easiest way? I have the disk device as a raw disk on NVME ( Linux machine ) /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-Samsung_SSD_970_EVO_Plus_1TB_S59ANG0MA14014A-part4 I have shut down the VM, taken a dd to image of that partition, and now need to take that to physical. Can I mount that Virtio into a mount point any copy files off perhaps? Or is there a smarter way to do this? How to take a virtio image to Physical disk? Many thanks!!!!
December 26, 20196 yr Create a backup in the windows vm and save it somewhere external ( usb hdd that can fit all the back up). Then for the physical windows you boot to the install disc and provide it a path to the backup files.
