Inssomniak Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey all. Is it possible to take a working unraid system (3 drives) and migrate it to a vmware machine on ESXi without losing or having to move all your data? Quote Link to comment
TheDragon Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I'm certainly not an expert, but I do know its possible as I've managed to do just that. Just to give you an idea, I was able to install ESXi onto a flash drive, boot off it, then create and boot an unRAID virtual machine with access to my data as normal. I was also able to unplug the ESXi flash drive and boot back into unRAID without ESXi, data still intact. I think a large part of how successful you will be depends on your hardware. Check out this thread, I found lots of useful information here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14695.0 Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment
