Help with Installation

[AtiqRahman]

Hi,

I purchased Vmware Vsphere 6 standard license. I would like to know few things before installation.

I have two vm's in vmware workstation 9 on Dell R730 server (Win 2012 R2). We need to install vmware vsphere 6 on seperate server/pc and link and upgrade existing vm's to vsphere. Since we don't want to format Dell R730 server which has 2 vmware machines, please guide how i can proceed.

Best Regards,

‌So you have 1 server running Workstation with 2 VMs and a 2nd server running ESXi 6 and you want to get the VMs onto the ESXi host? If so you should be able to export/import using the steps in this KB article - VMs will need to be shut down. Exporting virtual machines from VMware Workstation to ESX/ESXi (1012258) | VMware KB

HI ,

You may try VMware vCenter Converter Standalone  for moving the VM from work station to  ESXi host
