Migrate workstation VM to ESXi host

[steve11554]

We are setting up our systems and want to initially put vsphere on a window 7 64 bit VM to be located on a workstation.  Down the road a bit I want to move that VM from the workstation onto an ESXi host.  What mechanism should I use to do that. I am running workstation 7.  Thank you.

Can you explain this please!?

Usually you would use VMware Converter to convert VMware Workstation VMs to an ESXi host.

VMware Converter would work great for this

I use a texteditor plus vmware-vdiskmanager plus winscp
more reliable then Converter but not so convenient
