Hi Bruno, During the first boot after sysprep, Windows disinstalls and reinstall drivers based on PNP, but this is unfortunately having issues on XenServer/XCP so our Cloudbase-Init unattend.xml used during sysprep avoids removing the drivers on boot.
We still have to test a XenServer/XCP image booted on Hyper-V, but it's IMO a feasible way to go.

Technically a xen-to-hyperV image will boot, would it be auto-suficient? I mean, would I have to reinstall all drivers ? thanks On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 6:12 PM, Bruno Oliveira <brunnop.olive...@gmail.com<mailto:brunnop.olive...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi guys, I've got a quick question regarding HyperV and Xen virtualization modes and their compatibility. Can you help me out on this? Here's the deal: Knowing that when xen boots up a Windows box, it goes as "HVM" (Hardware Virtualization) but needs some "PV" (Paravirtualization) drivers... And that Hyper-V *does* work with Windows in HVM (without the PV-drivers), theorically and tecnically, is there a way I could have a "Windows Server" which the disk_image is xen-based ported to HyperV ? Even if I have to apply some process in the way Thank you!
