How can i convert a VirtualBox's .vdi files to VMWare vmdk/ovf formt

  • 772

Vsphere takes ovf file to create a Virtual Machine, but it also needs the vmdk which is the actual disk. Would VMWare Converter be able to do this conversion? i have the .vdi files on Mac OSX. Maybe i need to move the files to where VMWare converter can access them, since there is no VMWare converter on Mac

ovf vdi vmware-converter conversion

    You can use QEMU (Available for OS X) to do the conversion with the following command:

    qemu-img convert VirtualBox-HardDisk-image.vdi -O vmdk VMware-virtual-machine-image.vmdk
