I was reluctantly forced to use Oracle Virtual Box as my company wouldn't allow me to install Windows 10 and use Hyper-V. But after a period of time - I loved it!
But eventually the day came when I upgraded to Windows 10 and then I wanted to use the Hyper-V containers so I could use containers with Service Fabric and Docker. It was a reluctant upgrade.
Some of my VMs were VMDKs (VMWare format).
When I tried to use the ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk PowerShell converter I encountered the error:
ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk : The entry 9805522d-8707-43d0-a4b2-60f05833e201 is not a supported disk database entry for the descriptor.
Fortunately this post helped me and I used the dsfok and dsfik tools to export and import the modified descriptors.
Although they describe a different field, I eneded up commenting out other fields (shown below).
#ddb.uuid.image="9805522d-8707-43d0-a4b2-60f05833e201"
#ddb.uuid.parent="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
#ddb.uuid.modification="e336bebc-656c-4fbb-bf93-6e1b4c0513eb"
#ddb.uuid.parentmodification="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
After that the ConvertTo-MvmcVirtualHardDisk worked.
