VirtaMove supports the deployment of containers where the source and destination machines have different system drives. However, the destination machine must have a local drive assigned the same drive letter as the source machine’s system drive.

You can use the https://virtamove.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/VDOC/pages/314114486/virtavdrive?search_id=3ee06282-3e86-4399-9a65-04f234c3ca98 command to map the system drive from the source machine to a system drive on the destination machine.

For example:

Scenario 1:

Source machine
Local Drives: C:
System Drive: C:

Destination machine
Local Drives: E:
System Drive: E:

virtavdrive c:\appliances\mycontainer move c e

Scenario 2:

Source machine
Local Drives: C:, E:
System Drive: E:

Destination machine
Local Drives: C:, E:
System Drive: C:

virtavdrive c:\appliances\mycontainer move e c
