V2V - VM MIGRATION

 


VIRTUAL TO VIRTUAL MACHINE MIGRATION

Click the File menu in VirtualBox and select Export Appliance.




Select the virtual machine you want to export 





Click Next




Click Export





VirtualBox will create a nOpen Virtualization Format Archive (OVA file) that VMware can import. 



In the VMware Workstation

Import the OVA file in VMware, click the Open a Virtual Machine option and browse to your OVA file.






VirtualBox and VMware aren’t perfectly compatible, so you would receive a warning message saying the the file “did not pass OVF specification performance” – but if you click Retry, the virtual machine should import and function properly.








      After the import is over, you can find the virtual machine on VMware Workstation Pro
