How to virtualise a physical server

$

Hi All,

im just kinda wondering the steps involved in virtualising a physical server.(I have an esxi in place). So basically i have a physicall server on the network and i would like to perfrom some test on it (but want to be safe hence im planing to virtualise the physical and perfrom the test on the virtual).

 

my question is

 

1. How do i start the virtualization .. Do i use Vconverter then link it to Esxi?

 

2. After virtualization, since the the physical and virtual server will have same hostname - there will be conflicts right?

 

3. Should i remove the physical from network? - if yes .. will DNS pick see the virtual as the physical?

 

many thanks guys
