VMWare ESXi 4.0 migration

As I posted last time, we decided to move over to ESXi and so far, its been pretty smooth. ThePlanet installed ESXi 3.5 on our servers, which I quickly upgraded into 4.0. When you install the vSphere Client there is an option to install the host update utility. Run it, point it to the zip file you've download from VMWare's website, and wait a bit. It works like a charm (put the machine into maintenance mode first!!). Since the servers had no clients running on them, I did it during the day (which let me sleep last night! lol!!) I've been copying over the VM's from our VMWare Server machine with good ol' scp and using the vmkfstools command on the ESXi box to convert them into ESXi format. Takes about 30-40 min per server for the whole process, which isn't exactly quick, but we're moving low-traffic boxes in very off hours. I moved the server that this website runs on during lunch today....;o)
