Host? Yes. Can be used as a destination for P2Ving a Linux box hot? No. Just tried it. It's not clear at all in the docs unless one knows the sublty in their terminology, but these are the only VMWare servers that the Converter tool will use to P2V a Linux box hot:
ESX Server 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0
ESXi 3.5 and 4.0 Embedded
VMware vCenter Server 2.0, 2.5 and 4.0
This doesn't seem like it should be this difficult. Perhaps I just need to pony up some cash to a vendor... ;)
Oh well. Enough ORACLE-L bandwidth spent. Thanks all for your answers!
