IVM to Hyper-V Fails to Boot Properly for Debian 10.x Source Nodes

Symptom

If you select the Server with GUI option while installing any of these source nodes such as Debian 10.x on ESXI and perform the IVM to Hyper-V job, the target node that is generated on Hyper-V may not boot properly. Although the logs show success for the IVM job, it fails to bootup properly.

Solution

Once the target node is created on the Hyper-V platform and the “IVM to Hyper-V” job status/ logs showed successful completion, reboot the target node manually. After rebooting , the target node opens the expected GUI.
