Hello guys,
I am trying to migrate CentOS servers from VirtualIron to VMWare ESX.
I thought about getting a VHD out of the VI infrastructure (by exporting it with their command) and then converting it with VMWare converter to get a vmdk to attach to a virtual machine.
There are some problems though:
1) VMware converter 3.0.3 does not accept VHD or convert them straight away.
2) The linux partitions are using LVM and they can not be booted by either the player or VMWare workstation and WinImage seems to be able to open just the boot partition and not the other ones (they do not even show up in the combobox dropdown list)
Now: How do I move around? At least I need to be able to convert those VHDs into vmdk so that they can be attached to working CentOS boxes on the VMWare infrastructure and data copied across
But I am open to better solutions
Any idea?
Thanks a lot in advance
Ilario
