We are seeking an experienced professional to conduct VMware‑to‑Hyper‑V migrations.

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

• Experience performing production VMware‑to‑Hyper‑V migrations, including planning, cutover, and post‑migration validation.
• Strong working knowledge of Veeam Backup & Replication, especially Instant VM Recovery (IVMR) to Hyper‑V with on‑the‑fly conversion from VMware sources.
• Experience in network and IP mapping, traffic verification rules, and cutover coordination.
• Strong operational experience with both VMware vSphere (ESXi and vCenter) and Microsoft Hyper‑V, including standalone hosts, failover clusters, Hyper‑V Manager, and virtual switches.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Execute end‑to‑end VM migrations from VMware vSphere (ESXi/vCenter) to Microsoft Hyper‑V using Veeam Instant VM Recovery (IVMR) and the NetApp Shift Toolkit.
• Plan and run migration waves, including sizing, scheduling, change records, pre‑checks, cutover steps, rollback planning, and post‑migration validation.
• Use Veeam Backup & Replication to support migrations, including backup and replica jobs, IVMR to Hyper‑V, network and IP mapping, and final cutover with limited downtime.
• Set up and operate the NetApp Shift Toolkit on ONTAP storage, including SMB 3.0 and NFS shares, SMB Constrained Delegation, export policies, and large‑scale disk conversion workflows.
• Prepare source VMs for migration, including VMware Tools removal, driver staging, and disk cleanup, and ensure target hosts and clusters are ready before each wave.
• Validate migrated workloads on Hyper‑V, including boot, integration services, networking, storage paths, and application owner smoke tests, and resolve issues through to resolution.
