How to migrate (p2v) VMS (Virtual Memory System)

[NeenaJim]

Hi Team,

Can anybody tell how to migrate VMS (Virtual Memory System) ? Please do not confuse the term VMS. Please see the below description. Its an old OS used for UNIX. I have a requirement to migrate do P2V / migrate VMS to virtual environment. Not sure which converter support this? Or is it compatible with VMware? I do not know anything about this... Please help??

VMS: VMS was renamed OpenVMS when it was redeveloped for the Alpha processor. (OpenVMS is also the name now used on the VAX computer.) The "Open" suggests the added support for the UNIX-like interfaces of the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) standard. Programs written to the POSIX standard, which includes a set of standard C language programming functions, can be ported to any POSIX-supporting computer platform.

Regards,

Neena...

Welcome to the COmmunity - You will not be able to migrate the system directly to vSphere since it is not running on x86 architecture - you will have to transform the existing environment along this route - http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/journal/v17/native.html
