P2V Our SBS2003

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.
