I’m completely virtual now with a fairly robust ‘private cloud’…here are a few tools that helped.

Disk2vhd v1.5 (sysinternals) – Tool that creates VHDs from your hard disks…quickly move from physical to virtual.  Awesome tool!!

iSCSI Cake 

MySAN

I’ll try to post more soon.

Incase anyone else is trying to find this…another vendor FAIL!!  Thanks Linksys/Cisco..
