Unable to copy VHD

hello,

i running hyper-v on windows server 2012. trying copy vhd file hyper-v host, however, vhd not copy. i've tried following options:

• used windows explorer manually copy vhd (fails 50% of way)
• used windows explorer manually copy vhd hyper-v services off
• used hyper-v export vhd (incorrect function error)
• used powershell copy vhd
• used powershell copy vhd hyper-v services off
• used vmm migrate virtual machine host

all of these options failed, multiple times varying non-descriptive messages.

the virtual machine works fine on host (turns on, functions normal).

any appreciated.

hi hhancock,

i not think copy fails due to  occupation  by vm (cause of copied vhdx file of running vm folder ).

i assuming shut down vm , stoped hyper-v vmm service but still can not copy vhd file of vm.

my suggestion backup host , vms try run chkdsk check disk .

hope helps

best regards
