The free version will only P2V one server at a time, the paid enterprise flavor will do several at once from the VIC. FWIW, when I did my consolidation last year, I used the free tool and things went fine… Shook ________________________________ From: Roger Wright [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 25, 2008 11:36 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Server Colidation via VMWare We want to take a closer look at server consolidation using VMWare’s ESX products, especially in light of the recent announcement making the product available free. We have several servers on old hardware that would be nearly impossible to rebuild so we’re thinking they’re ideal candidates for VM’s if there’s an automated process to migrate P2V. Is such a tool available, and at low-cost?
