Vmware Converter : P2V : which controller to select for the VMDK when you do a conversion?

Posted on 9:48 AM by Unknown

When you convert a server from a physical box to a virtual one, which controller do you select when using vmware converter ?

Normally the default is fine.


Noticed in this thread this is the config that continuum uses



I use vmscsi for 2000, XP and 2003 32bit
LSI for 2003 / 64
LSI-SAS for Win7 and 2008 R2

Pasted from <http://communities.vmware.com/message/2134800#2134800>
