Vmware Convertor allows us to P2V (Physical to Virtual) migrations. That is, taking (potentially) a running machine on my network and importing it directly into my virtual infrastructure.

So, whilst vSphere is the new kid on the block, Vmware have also released an updated version to this genuinely brilliant utility!

What’s New
The VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.0.1 release is an update to Converter Standalone 4.0, and includes the following new features:

    Support for vSphere 4.0 as source and destination targets:

  • Support for configuring target disks as thin provisioned disks
  • Support creation of IDE disks on vSphere 4.0
  • Support for backup products to restore vSphere 4.0 virtual machines backed up using VCB
  • Support for creation of virtual hardware version 7.0 virtual machines on vSphere 4.0. targets as well as migration of hardware version 7.0 virtual machines from Workstation and Server platforms to vSphere 4.0
  • Support for importing OVF 1.0 single virtual machine images.
  • Support for customization of Windows Server 2008 guests.
