Anyone moved a VM from commercial Azure to Azure Government lately? Hitting a wall with Site Recovery
Trying to move a several running VMs from a regular Azure subscription into Azure Government — there's no native way to just "move" it, so the standard trick is to use Azure Site Recovery and treat the VM like a physical server being replicated in.
That approach used to work fine, but it was built around Site Recovery's old "Classic" setup, which got retired this past March. Now that everyone's forced onto the newer "Modernized" architecture, the tool seems to notice the source is an Azure VM and just... skips the actual setup step. It reports success, but never actually configures anything, so the agent can't connect to anything and nothing starts.
Two questions for the group:
- Anyone else run into this specific silent-skip behavior, and found a way around it?
- Has anyone actually pulled off a live move from commercial Azure into Gov since Classic went away, or is this basically a dead end right now?
Wanted to see if anyone's cracked this before I give up on it. Thanks in advance.
