P2Vツールめも

サーバとか VMware

Leostream P>V Directo3.0
気になった売り文句は、

  • No Reboot:Less Risk
  • Disk Synchronization:Less Downtime
  • Run Parallel Conversions

とか。DiskSynchronizationはオンラインで移行してる間の差分を反映といった感じでしょうか。まぁそんなに焦った状況でP2Vとかはしたくないような・・・

  • No Training Required,Easy to Use
  • High Success Rate,Integrated Support

てのはこの手のツールがよく謳う文句なのでどうなんだか・・・

[PowerConvertによる移行後に・・・]
The migration finished successfully, following several reboots of the destination server and the powering down of the source server. A little bit of a hiccup occurred here, as I couldn’t use the mouse or keyboard in the new VM’s console, but I could RDP into the server and verify that it was up and running. A short time later both input devices suddenly became active, and I was able to use the console normally.

移行後の仮想マシンでマウスの挙動がおかしくなったりするのはもしかして実は・・・

I ran this same migration using PlateSpin’s new LiveTransfer option, which is similar to Leostream’s P>V in that it doesn’t require the source server to be taken offline prior to the conversion. Unfortunately this test didn’t end well, as the converted server booted with several broken AD services, requiring AD restore mode.

ひぎぃ、怖い！

These tools represent two different solutions to the P2V problem. PlateSpin’s PowerRecon and PowerConvert are thorough but heavy applications, requiring a dedicated server and several reboots to complete the P2V process. Leostream P>V is more streamlined, having a tiny footprint and no central server, but it lacks the tools and management framework of PlateSpin’s toolset.

PowerConvertは重いし何度も再起動するしツールがごちゃごちゃついてくるよ！って書いてるだけであんまり良い評価してない気がするのは気のせいでしょうか。
