Novell Netware 6.5 sp6 & sp7


We are going to be creating our first virtual servers within 2 months. Among various Microsoft servers, we need to virtualize a dozen or so Novell Netware 6.5 servers. Does anyone have suggestions on P2V for these? Don't necessarily want to do a Novel migration on each one of them. Would much rather hear about a P2V utility that has been proven to work.


Thanks,

Bruce

Re: Novell Netware 6.5 sp6 & sp7

I think Portlock Storage Manager (http://www.portlock.com/) is the only known product for Netware migrations today. They support SP6 but not SP7 from what I know. :_|

Apart from that Novell has purchased Platespin, so I guess their PowerConvert will support Netware?!??! But PowerConvert only support Windows and Linux at this point. They use WMI for Windows server and a file installed at Linux servers, I guess they have to do something like they have done for Linux, but we´ll see about that......
