Hello guys,
I have a couple of servers that I'm about to virtualize to our VMware Vsphere ecosystem. For Linux servers I read that one needs to use the stand-alone converter (which is a live-cd that you boot from it and then you point it to your destination ESX).
I would like to know from folks that have already done so...what was your experience like? Did everything went smooth? Any caveats? I'm worried about the filesystem extended attributes (SELinux). Will it survive the migration? Or will I need to relabel the whole filesystem again?
Usually it works fine, just need to install vmware tools after conversion. Also, you cannot resize linux disk(s) during conversion.
