[12.2] Convert VMWare vmx to KVM format

English Virtualization
1

Is there tools or a method to use to convert a VMWare vmx file to KVM support image file? Particular without making use of VMWare software, just using the vmx file.

If your vmdk are VMware 6 or later, the disks should be an acceptable format “as is” without need for conversion.

Otherwise, supposedly kvm-img is supposed to do conversions and be a part of virt-utils but for some reason I’m researching not on my system.

The VMX file is only the VMware config file so useless to a KVM VM.

Found it.

qemu-img

qemu-kvm is a “stable” branch of kvm, therefor some “kvm” tools are renamed “qemu.”
