Hello, I will describe it here.
this is an physical server, and it's not a VM.
Our plan is install esxi on this server and then run the OS on the VM, so we need to backup the machine first. I googled and found VMware Converter can convert the physical machine.
I choose the option
convert powered-on machine ----Vmware workstation or other vmware Virtual machine---------vmware workstation 8.0.x
I got a vmx file and a vmdk file.
I want to know Can I import it if I install esxi 5.1 on this physical server?
