P2V, V2V and V2P migration


Performing physical-to-virtual (P2V), virtual-to-physical and virtual-to-virtual migrations may seem like a simple process that involves merely copying files. But with complex systems like a virtualized data center, dynamic resources like virtual machines and varying workloads, this process requires that you do your homework and evaluate which servers and which workloads should be migrated. This section provides research, advice and step-tutorials on virtual server migrations, the best physical-to-virtual (P2V), virtual-to-physical (V2P) and virtual-to-virtual (V2V) tools for your environment and some of the challenges involved in virtual machine migrations.
