Hi everyone,
We have a requirement on Ax 2009 virtualization. We have mulitple Ax 2009 instance running on physical server. We have to move all the instance into a virtual machine. We use virtual box. We have installed multiple AOS and I could able to run all AOS instance on virtual machine. Now my question is I have a plain Ax environment, How can I mirror the physical server environment into a virtual machine for all Ax instance.

Hi,
While am working on virtualization, i have a quick question, Is virtualization mirroring or virtualization migration is better? I need to know the pros and cons of both. Do anyone have an idea?
Am not moving the whole server into virtual machine am just moving all Ax instance(dev and test environment) into virtual machine. I will follow the steps suggested by Denis and let you guys posted. Thank you:).
Hi Akshaya
In addition to what Martin said, if you have already installed the AX 2009 Aos, is enough to install also SQL Server and move :
1- AX Database
2- Copy the Application folders
3- Client Configuration
Finally, Deploy SSRS reports if used.
If you want to migrate the whole machine (as you question suggest), read VirtualBox Wiki: How to migrate existing Windows installations to VirtualBox
But what you did doesn't match with your question. If you've already installed AOS services on the VM, you're clearly not migrating the whole physical server. Now the question is what you want to migrate, especially because we can't what you have installed on the source server. Application files? Databases? Client configurations? Something else? Note that none of these things must be on the same server as AOS services.
