Hi All<br />
<br />
I have some exported Xen Server VMs in .xva format.<br />
I need to import them into ESX.<br />
How do I best (easiest and free!) do this?<br />
Have tried Xen Convert and VMWare Converter but they are mainly P2V or they dont support the current exported format.<br />
Thanks<br />
Paul.

Hi All

I have some exported Xen Server VMs in .xva format.
I need to import them into ESX.
How do I best (easiest and free!) do this?
Have tried Xen Convert and VMWare Converter but they are mainly P2V or they dont support the current exported format.
Thanks
Paul.

Xen Server migration to ESX

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

Citrix is the synonym for the virtualization and application infrastructure systems developed by the company of the same name. Main areas are application virtualization, Software-As-A-Service (SaaS), cloud-computing and networking. The two most well-known are Citrix XenApp or Citrix CloudPlatform.
