Can you move a VM from VMServer to ESX server 3

Is it possible to move a VM from VMserver 1.0.3 to ESC server 3.0.1?

Thanks

If the VM uses virtual SCSI disks - yes.

If not use VMware Converter.

You also have to import the disk using vmkfstools -i

This will import the disk so it can be read in a vmfs3 file system.

cheers.

Even if it is not SCSI you can still do it without Converter, there is a technote on this, Converter is easier though. I have both methods documented on my website...
