In case of any hardware failure, you can quickly get the VM up and running on a different piece of hardware with zero or negligible downtime. They make backups & disaster recovery easier & more reliable. Virtual machines are hardware agnostic and make a sysadmin’s life easier.

This conversion copies over the operating system, applications and data from an existing physical server a new virtual server. I’ll also show you some errors that I ran into during this process and how I fixed them. We will be doing a remote hot cloning, i.e., virtualizing a powered on physical machine.
