VMware Cold Clone to convert your physical machines, where to get it?


Where to download VMware Cold Clone.

You cannot do a hot conversion every time.  Sometimes you need to perform a cold clone to convert your physical servers. Then you’re asking, where to get the converter cold clone boot CD?
So, there exists the cold-clone disc. This is a bootable CD-ROM disc that you actually boot the physical server from. The disc contains a pre-installed Windows 2003 image that runs a built-in version of Converter. Since you boot from the CD, none of the server’s processes start-up so you can get a good clone of the hard drive.
In case you want to download you must go and:

vcenter-converter-download01

vcenter-converter-download02

Make sure that you log-in before you download. This means that you have to have an Store account, that means that you have already bought some product with VMware before.

    The enterprise edition of Converter is not free and is only available to customers who own vCenter Server. Also the cold clone OS is not Win2003 but is a special version of Windows called Windows PE that is based on Vista. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc766093(WS.10).aspx
