Hello @wabbas, How does Morpheus transfer the VHDX file to the Hyper-V host?
Using winrm with powershell cmdlets in Morpheus server or something else?

Thanks,
Aung

The VHDX will be transferred via the Morpheus agent installed on the Hyper-V host over port 443. The Hyper-V host needs to be able to connect back to the appliance via appliance URL.
