<div>Hi,</div><div> </div><div>I am working the same. For us the best solution was to use CMU.</div><div> </div><div>The work line we did was:</div><div> </div><div>1.- Provide a new virtual server (300GB of HD space thin provision)</div>

Hi,<br>
<br>
We use BX on vmware and have successfully converted many P2V
servers.<br>
<br>
You can use the vmware standalone converter, which can be
downloaded from the <a href="http://vmware.com" target="_blank">vmware.com</a> website, but you must ensure that
root can login to SSH on the source machine - this can be set
through the GUI.<br>
<br>
For the best results we have found CMU to be the best. There are a
lot of threads on CMU and how to use it. This method works best
for us everytime.<br>
<br>
We are currently in the process of moving to 5107/8, which we will
accomplish using the CMU method above.<br>
<br>
Happy to discuss further.<br>

</div><pre>Maybe there are some VMware tools that can "rip off" a real server and turn it
into a VM. If so, I'm not aware of them. This might be a question for some
that are more familliar with VMware.
Other than that CMU is of course always an option.
