Unsupported actions

  • Create resource groups using VMs from multiple Hyper-V hosts

  • Spanning disks (across multiple CIFS shares)

  • You cannot restore VMs or VM data between systems with different CPU vendors (Intel to AMD or vice versa), regardless of the "Processor compatibility" setting in Hyper-V.
