The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by Sid_F in VMware, Virtualization
Ok, I am testing ripping phyiscal images to virutal images. Current setup: I have an xp pro machine running vmware converter, I have another xp machine on the network that I am ripping the image off. I run the image converter point it to the remote machine and then point the destination location to a network share. With the result the image vmdk gets saved to the network share (this process seemed to take quite some time and the image was only 2.6 gig) I then need to mount this image on the vmware server, however my vmware server can only browse to the local datastore and not a network share... at this point I use fastscp to transfer the vmdk image from the network drive to the vmware server datastore. The image gets transferred, however the image is still not viewable or mountable even though the vmx and vmdk files are present, I can browse to the files and add to inventory but when I do it then appears over the rest of the vmware instances as greyed out with invalid beside it.
How can I resolve this and also I presume there must be a much faster process as at this rate it would take me a week to transfer a large server image!
