Let me start off by saying i have little experience with vmware or vm's in general. We have an old Dell Precision T3500 that is acting mostly as a file share/server and sql server. The operating system windows 7 professional is on the main hard drive C: The rest of the files are in a Raid 0 (three drives). What i would like to do is make a vm that replicates this hardware setup. Make an image / backup with all software and settings the way they are. Then install the image/back up onto the vm that replicated the hardware setup. Is this possible with vmware? What steps would i need to take to replicate this environment?
Thanks
