vm converter download

This is how the way we convert the Vm Converter Download. Oracle has bought Virtual Iron to phase it out. To develop Oracle’s virtual solution with Xen.

You can convert Virtual Iron Virtual machines in 2 ways:

You can do cold clone or hot clone. In case you’ll want to convert those VM to be hosted on ESXi 4, you’ll want to use for this task VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.01, which is a free product.

Windows virtual machines running on Hyper-V Server, Citrix XenServer 4 Enterprise Edition, and Virtual Iron version 4.2 can be imported as live sources (using local or remote hot cloning) with Converter Standalone 4.0.1.

What’s needed :

1. The source virtual machine must not be para-virtualized. Normally none of the previously listed guest operating systems are para-virtualized.
2. Within the source Virtual Iron virtual machine you must disable the VS Tools Installed setting on the Configuration tab prior to starting these steps.

Do a hot clone:

By installing the VMware vCenter Converter Standalone 4.01 inside of the Virtual Iron’s VM Converter Download or on a supported remote system with network connectivity to the Virtual Iron host, the Virtual Iron virtual machine to be converted, and the VMware vSphere vCenter and/or VMware ESX/ESXi hosts to receive the converted virtual machine(s).

Do a cold clone:

By booting the converter CD. The VMware vCenter Converter Boot CD image is available at http://www.vmware.com/download/download.do?downloadGroup=VC250U4. You must ensure that “Before starting the virtual machine, ensure the setting for Are VS Tools installed is disabled to ensure the VMware Converter Boot CD starts correctly.” Otherwise the boot CD will not boot correctly. After that, you can remove all system checkpoints and choose to customize the Vm Converter Download.
