[cisco-voip] issues with VMware Converter?

[Erik Goppel]

I agree with ryan, however i`ve got it working several times using the
vmware converter.
I would not try risking it on a production system, unless you are able to
shut it down, pull a disk, boot up, convert, shut down, put pulled disk
back, and pull other disk, boot up and sync disks.


success,

Erik
