virt2vmx

Convert libvirt domain XML to VMX format. At current stage the project is meant to be a quick tool for importing qemu-kvm VMs to VMware infrastructure, not a comprehensive converting tool.

Requirements

For VM disk conversion qemu-img command is required. Also Java LTS (8 or 11) to run the jar.

Installation

Download from https://github.com/Tsuribori/virt2vmx/releases.

Usage

$ sudo java -jar virt2vmx-0.1.0-standalone.jar -f /path/to/VM.xml

This will write the VMX file and the VMDK to pwd. Note that sudo is usually required due to the default permissions on libvirt domain XML files and .qcow2 files.

Options

-f --file NAME Qemu file to convert

Platforms tested

  • VMware Workstation 15.5 Pro on Linux

Bugs

Probably plenty of bugs involving conversion, so please make a issue if you encounter one!
