I have been able to extract the vmdk file but don't know the settings for the VM to make it work. Although I have vCenter 4 available, none of our servers is going to ESX4 for the forseeable future... and I doubt I am alone in this. On a similar note I am trying to figure out what it will take to put Merchandising Server on ESX instead of XenServer. I have read a bunch of articles but nothing seems to fully answer the questions around it. Any thoughts? There isn't any way we're going to deploy XenServer into our DMZ or on our main network... therefore Merchandising server needs to live on VMware...

I am actually working on another blog post about virtual appliance vs hardware appliance and different VPX bandwidth licenses. Thanks Pierre.
