New to the VMware server system, have used workstation many times before but this is a different game. Our company is moving to virtual, we purchased a new server which is now set up with ESXi5.5. I am running vSphere and working with VMware support on installing vCenter server. We have two more hosts that will be incorporated in, both running windows os (2008R2 and 2012R2) with hyper-v machines running essential services. My question is has anyone migrated hyper-v servers and was it a good process? Also, based on installing ESXi on this server (wiped out the installed os) will this have to be done on each server, causing substantial changes to our system? I understand we can move all the services/functions of each host into new VMs but does that have to be done?
Thanks,
Marc
