[Spacewalk-list] Migrate from physical server to VM...any gotchas?

[Steve Meier]

Hello,

I have done a physical to virtual migration for our old (Version 1.0) Spacewalk
which was running on Oracle.

I stopped Spacewalk, Oracle and any other Services that where running and
used dd to copy the filesystems over into the VM. Surely not the prettiest
solution but it worked out just fine.

Kind regards,
  Steve
