P2V Migrator Question re source machine
Posted: Tue Nov 09, 2021 1:12 pm
Hi,
I am looking at using P2V migrator to create a VM backup of a critical physical server on a monthly basis. The critical server hosts MS SQL with some specialist configurations and we plan to use the tool so that we can quickly recover the machine to a VM and then restore the DBs from an alternative backup source.
My question is will the P2V conversion make any changes to the physical machine we are converting? eg. turn it off once done or make alterations to the running system? I need to server to continue to function during and after the conversion - the only time we will being the migrated VM up is during testing and if ever needed during a DR scenario.
Thanks
