V2V from ESX2.5 to ESXi 5.0

Hi all

I've been involved in the task to migrate some VM running on ESX 2.5 to a new vSphere 5 infrastructure

The main issue is that these VM /ESX 2.5 are managed by a virtualcenter 1.3

I know very old, but .....

I'm NOT able to migrate virtualcenter to version 2.5

and it's my problem, as vConverter need virtualcenter 2.5 to perform V2V

I have a look at platespin same requirement

those VM are critical , running W2K os , yes very old version also :-)

Any of you has an idea ?

I need to do a cold conversion, as I not allow to install vConverter agent

This is why V2V using vConverter was my initial solution

but because of version 1.3 of virtualcenter :-(

Your help will be appreciate

Thanks a lot

Cheers

Rico
