Migrate Hyper-V VMs to vSphere

    Hi

    We are investigating possible options to migrate workloads from Hyper-V to vSphere. We tried VMware Converter but there is no way to migrate a bunch of VMs at once, as far as I know. Considering there are +500 VMs ...

    Veeam Instant VM Recovery is also something we tested and It works great but it would still require some additional manual labor which we want to avoid.

    We would like to automate VMware Tools installation on the recovered VMs.
    Second, the VM gets recovered with an E1000 NIC and we would prefer to have the VMXNET3 adapter. Changing the NIC afterwards would require reconfiguration of IP setting in the Guest OS which makes it harder to automate.
    Third problem, we would still need to do the storage vMotion (finalize recovery). Thinking about this, it would probably have to be the first step to be able to make changes to the VM.

    Are there any better options to do this kind of migrations or do can we automate the above steps?

    Thx.
