Xen VM to VMware Migration with out and Downtime

Hi All,

We have built VMware (ESXi 6) Infrastructure in our company, We have around 500+ VM's in Xen infrastructure which need to be migrated to the new VMware infra. After going through many blogs I came to know we can migrate the VM but I need to know the answers for the below questions.

1) Can you suggest me how to migrate Xen VM to VMware step by step process?

2) Do we have any free tools or need to purchase any license?

3) We have VMware vRealize operations 6 Advanced licensed version with us, Will it help us to migrate the VM's?

4) If possible can you guys share any video link (Xen Vm to VMware migration)

Thanks in advance.

Converter can help you to migrate Xen machines to ESX, you need to convert them as powered on sources with no downtime. Make sure your sources are not para virtualized.

You can download and use Converter for free: VMware vCenter Converter: P2V Virtual Machine Converter | United States
