How can I convert from Proxmox 5.x vzdump qemu virtual machine image to VMWARE or VirtualBox?
I want to run the Virtual Machine what is created in Proxmox (KVM + Qemu maybe) in VMWARE ESXi or in VirtualBox.
I tried to use qemu-img convert a.vma -O a.vmdk but made a not vaild format. Seems like need other tool or parameters. Also I have running Proxmox to export if needed.
If you can help, how convert Proxmox's VMA ( https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/VMA ) backup ( https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore ) to raw image, then to vmdk.
Thank you, FA
I am currently working on VMWare virtualization; I am trying to make a converted image from qcow2 to vmdk work with ESXi Server 6.0.
I used the image converter tool qemu with the following command
qemu-img convert -f qcow2 imagediskname.qcow2 -O vmdk myNewImage.vmdk
This command gives me a vmdk image which is only VMWare Workstation compatible. Therefore, in order to make it ESXi compatible I have to use the vmkfstools with the following command.
vmkfstools -i imagediskname.vmdk outputName.vmdk -d thin
qemu-img convert -p -f vmdk -O imagediskname-disk1.vmdk imagediskname.qcow2
