P2V MIGRATION

 physical to virtual migration of an operating system pre-requisites required are as follows

• Disk2vhd(link)
• Oracle Virtual box (link)

  Steps followed for P2V migration:

  Download disk2vhd using the above link , extract the folder and open disk2vhd64 file

  

  Choose the destination folder and check the disks that you want to convert as VHD here I am going to use VHD format since oracle virtual box only supports them. select Use VSS if you would like to get a transaction-consistent version of a disk and not a crash-consistent version and click on create button

  

  After creation of VHD open oracle virtual box and click on new button to create a VM(virtual machine) and fill the details accordingly

  

  Choose use an existing VHD option and provide the correct path for VHD file that has been created previously

  

  Now we have finally completed P2V migration successfully.
