instructions on converting a physical Orion NPM server to virtual machine

We would like to convert our Orion NPM server to a virtual machine. Is there any documentation, video or something that would help us? Or, are there no special requirements or considerations and a simple P2v will do it

¿The DB is separated from the APP? if it is, should be pretty straightforward. Just Install de APP in the VM and point it to the DB.

Requirements for Virtual Machines and Servers

Orion installations on VMware Virtual Machines and Microsoft Virtual Servers are fully supported if the following minimum requirements are met for each VM.

Notes:

SolarWinds strongly recommends that you maintain your SQL Server database on a separate physical server.

SolarWinds does not support or allow installations of SolarWinds NPM on domain controllers.

VM Configuration	Orion Requirements by License Level
VM Configuration	SL100, SL250, or SL500	SL2000	SLX
CPU Speed	2.0 GHz	2.4 GHz	3.0 GHz
Allocated Hard Drive Space	2.5 GB	5 GB	20 GB
Allocated Hard Drive Space	Note: Due to intense I/O requirements, SQL Server should be hosted on a separate physical server configured as RAID 1+0. RAID 5 is not recommended for the SQL Server hard drive.
Memory	3 GB	4 GB	8 GB
Network Interface	Each virtual machine on which Orion is installed should have its own, dedicated network interface card. Note: Since Orion uses SNMP to monitor your network, if you are unable to dedicate a network interface card to your Orion server, you may experience gaps in monitoring data due to the low priority generally assigned to SNMP traffi
