Currently we have upgraded the IBM BIGFIX ver from 9.2.0 - 9.2.5 successfullynow we wanted to P2V (physical server to virtual server). please suggest if any one did that

Do some careful disk I/O math before you migrate to virtual. A VM may work acceptably for a small prod, POC, and/or dev environment. Mid-size and larger environments would likely be sluggish unless your virtual infrastructure has extraordinary I/O. See IBM’s disk recommendations: http://support.bigfix.com/bes/misc/raidconfig.html

You can just set up the virtual server from scratch and do a migration of BigFix the same way you would if you were switching hardware or doing disaster recovery.

You can run BigFix in a VM but you definitely need to be considerate of the IO requirements and other things.
