HI,
My name is Bill Orth and I am looking for help. I just started a new job and I am not at all familiar with VMware. We currently have a red hat linux server 4.0 running VW 1.069. I am not familiar with Linux either and I would like to eliminate Linux from the equation and convert to ESXI. The problem is, I don't know how to do this. It looks as if the person whom I replaced made backups of the existing system by creating tar files. Can you please tell me what the easiest and safest way is to convert my current setup to ESXI. I know this is a lot to ask of a strangers but I am somewhat desperate. I have 20+ years of experience in IT, but the setup in my new employment is totally different than anything I have ever experienced. I received no training and am terrified that I am going to walk in to work and the servers will be down and I wont have a clue as to how to get them up and running. Please, any help would be appreciated.
