Hi there.
I want to migrate from vmware (ESXI 5.1) to Proxmox. I have the free version of vmware and can't do my backup properly so proxmox looks like a better option.
I have the following server
CPU Quad core e3-1230v2
32GB RAM ECC
250GB + 2x 2TB HDD (250GB for proxmox and the rest for the operating systems and backups)
so how do I migrate from vmware to proxmox. I tried following the guides but I must say one thing they don't explain properly is where do I copy the images converted. What I mean is where do save the final image when I'm done with conversion. I was also thinking of keeping the current vmware images just where it is and then just convert it to qcow2. using this command
qemu-img convert -f vmdk /mnt/usb/windows-server/windows-server.vmdk -O qcow2 /var/lib/vz/images/100/windows-server.qcow2
this is also a tricky part. where do i find my images so I can do this
In the line with ide0: we want to change vm-100-disk-1.raw,size=32G to windows-server.qcow2
somehow it must point to the other hard drive that I mounted via proxmox.
if you don't understand please ask. I will provide more info then.
