Worthy of a note is a process which can easily migrate a physical Novell NetWare eDirectory environment to a virtual one. The process first backs up the eDirectory on the physical machine, copies the backup files created to a workstatio, then powers down the NetWare server.

A virtual NetWare server of the same name and IP address is then powered up, the eDirectory backup files copied up to it, and an undocumented recovery option used to restore eDirectory. Great! Here’s the link: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/126991
