I just wanted to ask the list if anyone has had experience performing a live OS P2V of Windows Server 2003 SP2 Standard 32-bit (or any variation of Server 2003) via the VMware vCenter Converter, then taking this new VM, and immediately importing into a KVM environment for use. I'm curious to any "gotchas" folks went through, before I alpha tested the stability of this endevour. While virt-p2v (among other approaches) do exist, it's not live, and it is considered a last resort (and out of scope for this inquiry). Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
