Transferring Eeprom to Virtual machine
Hello all,

I am currently trying to find a solution to replacing some 10 year old Solaris boxes because it is obvious that they are going to fail soon. The problem is that they are license servers, and I need the eeprom serial to transfer to a new computer. Now, I could request that we get new Unix boxes and manually transfer the eeprom, but since all they are used for is license hosting I was hoping for a more economical way to accomplish this.

So, my question is: Is there anyway to emulate the eeprom that I currently have in the system on a virtual machine so that the licenses do not become invalid?

Thank you in advance for any guidance!
