We used Platespin about 3 years ago which worked at the time.

Hi
Its a sql server back end Document Image server
we have no idea how the system is setup or how it finds the files (saved as 
tiff files numbered sequentially)

If the system DIED it wouldn't be the end of the world but would be very 
inconvenient and could delay customer payment queries

Regards
Nigel

Hi
Tried this but there are still errors and the machine still trys to run 
checkdisk on boot
The conversion almost works but when the machine is booted although it reports 
2 processors on the vm console the nt installation only says it has 1
UPTO multi dosent work .. when the machine is rebooted it complains about 
various files being corrupt and crashes

Just wondered if there was anything else (imaging software) to try and capture 
the machine as is
then maybe try a repair on the virtualised system,
Maybe it is a duff disk but the server manager reports the disks as ok

Regards
Nigel

If the installation is "corrupt", P2V'ing it is going to replicate that 
corruption in your new virtual server

How do you come to the conclusion the installation is "corrupt"? Can you repair 
the OS install?

Hi
the erros are different each time the P2V
Yep its server raid , although this reports the disks are ok without errors the 
installation of NT is Corrupt. This is another reason we need to move the 
system its been like this for some "years" :-(

THanks

What are the errors from the VMWare P2V tool?

Can you view the disks through IBM's native tools (is it ServeRAID Manager?) to 
try and ascertain if any are failed or degraded?

We are in the process of Trailing one of our NT 4 Servers and converting
it to a Virtual machine
I tried the Vm ware converter but the machine fails to convert - various
errors

The end file is a single processor machine (the original machine has 2
processors) and the 2 network cards although detected on the image
theonly 1 can bhave properties set the other  errors and ipconfig shows
only 1 card!

Question
Is there some software that you could recommend to virtualizes this nt4
system
I its an old I'm server (Cant be upgraded as the software runs on nt4
only!) as we don't have the funds

The server has an ibm raid card setup as raid 5
Its an old p3 system with 1gb memory

Any help or links or help on converting this would be appreciated, as
the hardware supports is now very high

The system has some disc corruption but check disk doesn't finish even
when left to run for 1 week!
So its in a bad state

What would you recommend to virtualise the system?
Thanks
