Unable to Export the virtual machine on Hyper-V Manager

Error message -

"An error occurred while attempting to expor the virtual machine.

Export failed for virtual machine 'SE-SRV-AUTO'

with error 'The device is not ready.' (0x80070015).

It worked on the other virtual machine and the error description doesnt really help on what the issue is. Tried to goolge the error code but with no luck sadly.

    Try restarting your VM. If its still there check for your checkpoints if you have any.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

    Based on the error information you provided, I suggest you open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command to see if the virtual machine can be exported:

    Export-VM -Name Test -Path D:

    Note:Exports virtual machine Test to the root of the D drive.（Replace the virtual machine name and path according to your actual environment）

    I hope the information above is helpful.

    Best regards

    Zunhui
