Linux Version of P2V Assistant
Hi,
I have a client who has 3 mission critical Linux boxes whose hardware is well by it's sell by date. I've used VMWare's P2V Assistant many times before for migrating dated Windows servers, and it's a great tool, but does anyone know if there's a Linux P2V equivalent for copying live Linux boxes?
Cheers,
Fin

Hi,
I found with most tutorials online they only posted part of the whole solution so I wrote up the below article:

I don't know of any way to do it while staying in a 100% linux environment - hopefully someone else will have some insight?
