Hello all
We have recently bought a new Dell Host so we can run our entire enviroment on that host.
Dell Host w/ESXi 5.1 (it was installed last week).
The host is configured with 2 x 2GHz, 64GB Ram and 8x 600GB SAS in Raid 10 running with Vmware Essentials
We have 4 guest OS currently running:
2 x Winxp
1 x Srv2008 recently P2V
1 x Srv2008 moved from old host/datastorage
the last task I have is to P2V our old SBS2003 which currently runs on a HP ML350G4/5
I have on several occasions tried to P2V it and get various errors:
Biosinfo.inf is missing or corrupt, no boot/error just hangs on Black sceen and a general error while running the converter.
As i read some of the posts im quite sure all theese errors are caused by me not following "best practice". Cold P2V was mentioned ...
So in short:
If I want to P2V our SBS2003 so I can use Veeam backup software and finally migrate our SBS2003 to SBS2011 what should I do?
I do hope my question make sense and people can contribute
Thank you in advance.
