Create ova from vmdk and/or vhd to run vms on Synology?

Hi ,

You can export to ovf format , please check below doc.

https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vm_admin.doc/GUID-B05A4E9F-DD21-4397-95A1-00125AFDA9C8.html

It s not a vm.in vsphere.

where is the VM then ?

because you state ?

so like to import my vmware and hyper v vms on it.

are you sure you can use VMware vSphere and Hyper-V VMs, and they do not have to be converted ?

I  am sorry I miss read ,

You need to import VM in Synology right ?


Since Synology would only allow you ova , ovf file. first you need to export the VM in you Vsphere environment to OVA/ovf and then you may import the same in Synology vmm.

All you require to create VMM  image , from selecting the source as .vmdk or for hypervisor .vhd. then perform import from the disk.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, that's quite a procedure however without a guarantuee I'll succeed to convert my vmware vm to a synology vm.
Won't try it right away, hope that convertors will come along (from Synology) but if not, I'll give it a shot.

If you obtain the drivers required by Synology VMM, e.g. storage and network interface, that's all that is required, to convert an image to effectively bare metal!
