When you’re at the disk configuration window, select "use an existing virtual disk" and select the newly created vmdk file. Now create a new virtual machine in ESX, use Custom configuration. rw- 1 root root 344 Sep 11 18:17 Hercules-new.vmdk Rm: remove regular file `Hercules-flat.vmdk’? hercules]# ls -alĭrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 560 Sep 11 18:15.

Select the two vmdk files (Hercules.vmdk and Hercules-flat.vmdk) and use FastSCP to copy them the esx server, in the newly created folder. The virtual machine I want to migrate is called "Hercules" and contains of a couple of files : Navigate to /vmfs/volumes/ and create a new folder. Next, I set up a connecting to the esx server using FastSCP.
I used the following technique to move the vmdk files to ESX manually :įirst of all, Download FastSCP from and install it (in my case, I installed it on my Windows XP machine) Result : the vmware convertor died with a "Unable to determine Guest OS" error message. That machine was created as a "Vista (experimental)", and apparently the vmware convertor doesn’t recognize it (yet).
However, this technique did not work for my Longhorn beta 3 server. Migrating most of those machines was relatively easy : I booted the virtual machine using the VMWare convertor cd and used the convertor to move that virtual machine to ESX. While finishing the setup of my VMWare ESX infrastructure, I needed to move a couple of virtual machines from a VMWare Server (running on Windows XP) to my ESX server.
