Another customer requirement was, minimal configuration changes on the physical servers and easy fall back in case the conversion does not succeed.

Another option for hot cloning is to reconfigure the switch port for the management VLAN, this also requires changing the IP address of the NIC. Using the hot clone method, requires a modification to allow traffic between VLANs (the network admin does not like).

The physical servers reside in a different VLANs than the management network of the ESXi servers and the vCenter server.

Read more on this topic in this excellent blog post. Very important, after conversion and booting the virtualized Domain Controller, never, ever reconnect the physical Domain Controller or you will be in great trouble.

In that case there is only one option: Cold Clone. Unfortunately these Domain Controllers have more roles like file and application server (not best practice, I know). Best practice is to create VMs and build new Domain Controllers and demote the physical oneвЂ™s.

Two Windows Domain Controllers should be converted.

In this project we had to take into account the following topics:

TroubleshootingвЂќ which you can download from here. Very useful is the VMworld Session вЂњVMware Converter 3.0.2. Until this project Hot cloning was my favourite method. How do we answer this question? I think it the answer is, вЂњit dependsвЂќ. What you also need to know is that Converter Standalone 4.3 and later do not support cold cloning, you must use the Boot CD of an earlier edition.ДЄn alternative could be the MOA project on which offers a replacement for the VMware Boot CD.

There is one important caveat, the before mentioned boot CD is not free, in fact you will at least need a vSphere Enterprise license to download it. The topic concludes with an Hot and Cold Cloning Comparison. When you cold clone a server, you reboot the source machine using a CD that has its own operating system and the Converter Standalone application on it.

Cold cloning, also called offline cloning, which requires the physical server not running its operating system.Hot cloning, also called live- or online cloning, which requires the physical server running its operating system during the converting process.Chapter 1 also includes an interesting topic on types of Data Cloning Operations.

The UserвЂ™s Guide is a comprehensive document that describes every detail about the Converter Standalone and its usage. The вЂњResourcesвЂќ tab leads you to the documentation. The VMware Converter is available in these editions: 5.0, 4.3, 4.0.1 and 4.0. If you havenвЂ™t already done so, register with VMware and you can download the VMware Converter.

Today the VMware Converter is a free product. The first product that comes into mind is the VMware product, officially вЂњVMware vCenter Converter StandaloneвЂќ, (from now on, вЂњConverter StandaloneвЂќ). To resolve priority number one, the advise was to go for a Physical-to-Virtual (P2V) conversion. So, it was decided to build a new infrastructure based on VMware vSphere, new servers and a SAN. The organization is also in a process of transformation, a forthcoming project is to migrate to a Windows 2008 R2 platform, new Directory Services etc. The number one priority was to get the production servers on supported hardware. No need to tell you that the customer and the support team were very uncomfortable with this situation. Sometime ago, I encountered a situation where (due to circumstances) production servers were running on old, unsupported hardware.
