So, I'm sure most VMWare administrators have seen the hubbub with the new vSphere 5 licensing. The royal screwup that THAT is would be a topic for a different thread (probably in a different forum, since most VMware admins I know can't talk about it for more than 10 seconds without spewing into make-a-sailor-blush levels of profanity). Suffice to say that even with an existing SnS agreement, VMware's going to ask me to buy 1.5x more licenses if I want to upgrade to 5, just to make use of my existing hardware. And I've got it a lot better than some folks I know looking at 4-5x reinvestment in licenses.
But, all that being said, it's led us to consider the alternatives. Being a Linux-only shop, Hyper-V was basically right-out, but XenServer Enterprise looked like a pretty good contender. Has anyone here done an ESX->XenServer migration before? Tips? Tricks? Gotchas? Tools that you used that you said "Holy crap that made everything easy!"?
