    Hi folks,

    I need to perform a p2v of an oracle enterprise Linux server.

    Can someone please could point me to the right procedure (if any documentation is available that would be great :smileyhappy:), thanks for pointers.

    This went better than i expected, i downloaded converter 5.5.1 and it went smoothly, no reconfiguration needed, it installs GRUB, patch the mount point entries in fstab and recreate the initial ramdisk (all automatically).

    Well done VMWare.
