Hello.
We would like to do a migration of several running VMs under ESX 3x to Xenserver 5.
How to convert ESX 3x VM disk (vmdk) to Xen 5x format ?
I try Virtual Disk Migration Utility Version 1.1 to convert my vmdk to XVA.
But when i try to import ova.xml i receive error.
Whether there is a converter from Xen 5 to ESX 3x (xva to vmdk)?
Do you get the same error when using version 1.2?

Hello,
For ESX to Xen, I would ask on the Xen Forums. For Xen to ESX I am not sure what tool will work.
Best regards,

Already asked. But while nobody has answered.
Worst case you should be able to remove the 512k region defining the vmdk and then treat it as a raw device.
If it was useful, give me credit
