Do you know if would be possible to migrate vmware based vm to hyper -v?
or do you know forum / NG I can post to?
How about hyper-V training?

Thanks

Holz,

With SCVMM 2008 you have the ability to manage and migrate VMWare images
into HyperV.

Well, done my reading, and will most likely not work for me, unless I
have missed something.
From what I understand, you need to be running the current vmware on
Windows, however I run on Linux. I do not see way to import the vmx file
. Am I missing something?

Well, the white paper is quite encouraging. I am ordering my first 2008
Ent. edition with Hyper-V next week, so I look forward trying to convert
some of my vmware based machines and start comparing.
Hopefully it will take full advantage of our Intel 64 bit server with 32
GB RAM.

Yes, it should like that 32 GB of RAM. ;)

Sorry, I was actually offline for a day. By choice - it has been a long hard
slog getting the 2008 book finished, and I made a decision to not turn on my
computer for a day.

One possible solution if you run into problems with a direct migration using
SCVMM would be to do a hardware independent restore using something like
Acronis or StorageCraft. Though I'm really hoping the SCVMM solution works
well. I haven't had time to play with the beta version of SCVMM 2008, but
really liked 2007 version. Will implement 2008 when it RTMs.
