We are working on a plan to do a P2v conversion of a physical SQL server to our VMWare vCentre environment. Can anyone suggest a process that they used, to successfully complete this task?
The one consideration we have, is that we have SQL replication running for some databases over a WAN link to another SQL server at another site. We have calculated that the conversion will take around 10Hrs and there are worries around SQL replication and it being recovered.
