VMware P2V using cold clone method with vcenter converter
hello,
Its been a while since I P2V a machine. I was in the process of P2V'ing a machine to my new Hp DL360 g9 running ESXi 6
However, I am doing some research and see that the cold clone iso's aren't available.
Is there a reason why VMware stopped supporting this? Is there a new best practice?
I always thought that even if you disable important service for the P2V using a "HOT" clone, there is other activity and your are more prone to issues versus a cold clone.
Can someone please advise as to why I shouldn't perform a cold clone versus a hot clone?
thanks in advance
