How to DR from Nutanix (AHV) to Azure using ASR

Question

Azure site recovery is only about VMWare or Hyper-v. Can Nutanix (AHV) also DR?

Answer 1

Hey,

Not exactly a DR, but you can download VM disk image using the following procedure:

As the next step, you can use StarWind V2V Converter to attach downloaded file to Azure VM.

Answer 2

Hello @이강복 Thank you for reaching out to us on Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to help! Nutanix is not compatible with Azure Site Recovery. However, you can treat the VM as physical and install a process server to protect the VMS. The only limitation is that it doesn't have an automatic failback. If you trigger the DR to go back to the Nutanix environment, you will have to download the VM and convert.
