It is very simple to do, if you want to email me and I can give you a general overview of how I have done it for my customers. tom AT c KY ft Dot Com

BUT: can anybody give me a real working hands-on how I can move my NetWare6.5 servers into XEN?
I mean Portlock doesn’t even run in a manually installed NW65-SP7 XEN-session -> full crash with Portlock 4.x and missing driver/disks with version 3.36. Also no idea how I could make a XEN session with starting the Portlock boot-CD and try to recover a NetWare image this way…..
So a real practical guide is WISHED :-)

Portlock Software already has a great tool for this, and due to the forgiving nature of Netware and devices, it has none of the flakiness of VMware Converter. I highly recommend it — the only thing it is missing the centralized console of a Platespin application.
