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

Orion installations on VMware Virtual Machines and Microsoft Virtual Servers are fully supported if the following minimum requirements are met for each VM.
Notes:
VM Configuration | Orion Requirements by License Level | ||
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 |
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 |
