Move physical machine to ESXI without virtual hard drive
Dear ClearOS community,
I am running ClearOS 7.8 Business on a dedicated server and want to move it to a ESXI machine. I do not intend to use the converter, because I simply want to start the server from ESXI and want to assign the current sata controller on the mainboard to the VM and run from the same hard drives I am running ClearOS from currently. I find many tutorials how to do that with Windows machines, but rarely with Linux.
Should this work as I described? How about the ClearOS subscription, will this get invalidated, because of hardware change?
Thank you for the input.
Best wishes,
Robert -
