The Non Traditional Way to clone from Linux/Ubuntu Desktop/Laptop to VM VMware Workstation.

 The Non Traditional Way to clone from Linux/Ubuntu Desktop/Laptop to VM  VM = VMware Workstation. Reason :  I tried CloneZilla or Traditional DD commands. it was taking lot of time and was confusing. The method shown here is working for me. It may or may not for you. Steps :  1 - Create same version OS VirtualMachine on VMware workstation. this will create : fat32 - boot ext4 - OS image partition. 2 - Go to the system you want to clone ( having same version ) boot from live cd or USB boot into live cd. Reason : we need to unmount the HDD/ partition. use Gparted copy the ext4 partition from Laptop/desktop and paste it on the pendrive partition. i had created ext4 partition on the pendrive. so i did ext4 to ext4 . 3 - Boot VirtualMachine with live cd , copy the same disk ext4 files to the ext4  partition on the VM OS, by booting into live version on VM.not on regular boot. To boot into live version , you need to use few softwares 1 - Live CD as iso or live cd. 2 - Boot order setup optio

3 - What is Vmkernel ?

4 - What is snapshot ?
Ans - A snapshot preserves the state and data of a virtual machine at a specific point in time.
The state includes the virtual machine’s power state (for example, powered-on, powered-off, suspended).
The data includes all of the files that make up the virtual machine. This includes disks, memory, and other devices, such as virtual network interface cards.

5 - What is Hosted Architecture?
Ans - Hosted architecture is where your virtualization software is installed as an application onto the pre-existing host operating system. This means that your virtualization layer relies on your host operating system for device support and physical resource management. VMware Server is a good example of a hosted architecture.
