1. When P2V windows server from Multiprocessor to Uniprocessor, does powerconvert takes care of upgrading the HAL from Multiprocessor to Uniprocessor or vice versa?
In platespin you have the option to assign the new VM 1 or 2 virtual CPU's, ALWAYS use 1 cpu, dual cpu vm's run poorly, unless you are specifically told the cpu needs 2.
2. I did one windows P2V conversion using platespin and changed the HOSTNAME and IP ADDRESS of the target machine, but when I search the registry on the target machine I still find the source machine HOSTNAME and IPADDRESS in some places of the registry, is there any configuration that aim missing?
Honestly I would not change the hostname/ip or domain in a platespin job. I have done over 300 p2v's with platespin and I love using it. But when you make changess to the host OS, it seems to have a hard time completing those steps, (domain credentials vs local credentials etc). I would leave all that to do manually after the job completes. Let me know if you have more questions.
