Re: [SL] Simplest way to move SL from PC to Virtual PC?

[Michael H. <mh...@it...>]

Having just gone through some of that here I can say that VMware is  
by far the most mature product on the market.  As for migration  
strategies, that depends a bit on whether you want to take the  
opportunity to clean things up at the same time or not.
    We decided to go the cleanup route for most of our servers but we  
did image a couple directly.  The Windows boxes came across just fine  
by mirroring them to drive images presented via iSCSI and Ghost  
worked pretty well for the Linux boxes.
    Surprisingly, the Windows migrations actually seemed a bit  
easier.  However, when a Windows image first boots VMware creates a  
settings file for it and will ask you if it was a copy of another  
image - be sure to say No!  Otherwise it will "conveniently" strip  
out your key and you'll have to re-enter the key and re-register w/MS.


Good luck!
