This video is based on an article I wrote for Experts Exchange over 10 years ago. So join me for hints and tips of how we create a P2V migration to VMware vSphere. In this video I will show you how we can make changes on the source, and these will be replicated to the destination virtual machine, using the Synchronize option, later we will “cutover” workloads from the source to destination, with limited impact on service.
