So I wasn’t able to complete the earlier attempt to boot the VM. Something to do with the SATA backplane not having enough juice to keep both my 6-disk array and the w2k8 disk online at the same time. I had to dd the contents off of the w2k8 disk and send it to the SAN via nc. And it wouldn’t write at more than 5.5MB\/s, so it took all day.<\/p>\n

No indication as to how long this will take.  But I’ll be patient.  It will be nice to have the AD server back online.<\/p>\n
