Your VMWare servers are running smoothly, but you're awake at night. You just know you're getting a call, or an alert, about the server, and soon. What's about to go wrong?

VMware is it so hard to:
Make a vSphere vCenter vConverter that vSupports vAll the vVersions of ESXi/Workstation and can do physical disk->vmdk?
p2v is the foot in the door, of all the tools this one should make any crazy combo of source/destination relatively painless.

Making a vm so I can attach the disk and then use convertor to send it into the server is... a bit silly. The alternative is to hunt down 7 year old versions of imaging software.

Maybe I missed out on some 3rd party thing or a super-hidden VMware tool.

Has anyone used LSI's cachecade with esxi? Will it only work inside a vm or can the entire system take advantage of it? It looks like it will be used via guest os somehow and I'd rather not get hopes up if it can't accelerate all of the guests or won't work right with VMware sitting between it and the card. There's info about VMware VSA out thee and plain windows, just not much on this type of setup.
