Converting a Physical SQL Server to Virtual

$

Hello all,

 

We have a large SQL server that we would like to virtualize into our datacenter.  I attempted to do this over this weekend, but found that it was going to take 4.5 days to complete.  I was trying to do this over a 100MB MPLS connection.  We're looking at about 3TB of data to migrate.  Before I started the conversion, I stopped all of the SQL services.  This of course takes our databases down.  We cannot be down for 4 days however.  I pretty much have 2 days to get this done.

 

My question is: Can I leave my databases (Sharepoint) up and running while I do the conversion and then schedule the synchronization of changes when I want to move over to the virtual server? 

 

It was my understanding that this would not update the database changes.  Is that the case?

 

Thanks,

T
