I know that the top response is to use P2V or any number of other third party software that is out there.
Without purchasing it myself it just isn't going to happen. Also, I am stuck with a set of ghost images as I am not allowed to touch the real servers. (IE Prove it works and then you can migrate)
It sort of floors me that there is not one section I can find that just talks about how to migrate your current servers to VM-Ware. I guess VM think that everyone will just start building new boxes and just forego the current equipment that you have.
Just a thought to help new potential customers who want to move over to VM-Ware.
