My old hardware is dying and I want to move my system to a virtualized

if I am starting to get frustrated. I wanted to do flarcreate but
apparently that never happened for solaris 11. I then looked at
conversion P2V stuff but that led nowhere but to some proprietary tools
I had don't have a license for. Currently I am installing a
distro-const iso into Virtualbox but I suspect that is not going to
produce what I need (a pure clone of my old machine).
It is only a single rpool (file storage is NFSed in from another box).
Any suggestions? zfs send the rpool to the new virtual machine I made
using distro-const? Will that even work being the rpool and all? is
there some super easy dd way that I am missing? This system has been
running for over a decade and is crusty as hell, I doubt there is any
way I could rebuild it from scratch so I would rather not. I don't have
the time to try and get perl and imagemagick working together again.
Hi.
I remember moving my SXCE/OI installations from physical hardware to
VMware. I don't remember how did I convert production one. Likely,
VMware Converter. But I remember using qemu-img to convert physical
disks to qcow2/vdk images. And yes, after you moved VM to 'new
hardware', you'll have to boot from boot media and regenerate boot archive.
