I have a virtual machine running under VMWare Server, and I would like to migrate it to VI. Is that possible? I know Xen Enterprise has tools to do this, are there any similar tools for VI? Thanks, Jason Martens

There's a couple of ways to migrate virtual machines from VMware. You can use V2V tools such as PlateSpin, or you can export your VMDK files and use a conversion utility to convert to Microsoft VHD files (that's what Virtual Iron supports). Make sure to uninstall VMware Tools before the conversion.
