And vice versa. This is definitely something you may want to do if you happen to be a virtualization fan and you're running both VirtualBox and one of VMware products. The reasons for conversion could be many, including the need to preserve a license or a machine state, run it in different software for compatibility testing and who knows what other reasons virtualization geeks may have. Anyhow, today, I'm going to show you two definite and one maybe ways of how you can convert your virtual hard disks in.vdi format, used by VirtualBox to.vmdk, used by VMware, and the other way around. Furthermore, you will also learn how to convert to other formats, should you fancy them, including VHD, RAW, and others. We will use tools like the VBoxManage command line utility and QEMU, and take a look at VMware Converter, which we've seen in action. All combined, this tutorial will significantly enhance the flexibility and portability of our setup.

Conversion method 1: VBoxManage We have used VBoxManage to VirtualBox disks. The method here is identical, except that we will be converting to a different disk format. Let's see how this is done.

VBoxManage clonehd source.vdi target.vmdk --format VMDK Where source is your VirtualBox disk, target is your VMware disk and --format VMDK is the desired output format. Similarly, you can go the other way around, using VMDK as your source and VDI as your target. Make sure to specify the right disk format.

VBoxManage clonehd function supports other formats as well. See example: Again, using an external disk for storing virtual machines can reduce the performance penalty due to massive I/O. You can read more about optimizing virtual machine usage in my virtualization guide. Once the procedure is successfully completed, create a new virtual machine in a VMware product and use the new disk as your storage.

You have quite a bit of leeway. I have converted a VirtualBox machine that was installed on a different machine, running a quad-core Intel processor, and deployed the VMware disk on a machine equipped with a dual-core Intel processor one generation behind. VirtualBox were installed in the guest operating system. Moreover, I let the VMware machine use PAE extension, whereas I disabled this feature in VirtualBox. Furthermore, I changed the disk controller from IDE to SCSI in the VMware machine settings and it still worked fairly well, with only a minor inconvenience of installing new hardware drivers on the machine startup.

So you have a large margin for error and can be flexible about your conversions. As to which machines and software I used.

The so-called source host was my newest laptop with the i5 processor, running Ubuntu 10.04. The target host was my somewhat older but still new and powerful laptop, with the Core 2 Duo P7450 processor, also running Ubuntu 10.04 and equipped with both VirtualBox and the spectacular. P.S., on a side note, the Workstation installed flawlessly on, even more smoothly than it did on. Compared to the fairly complex and difficult setup on Ubuntu, this is an extremely impressive result. The Workstation (and possibly other products) may ask you to convert the virtual machine to the latest version of the VMware series. You can accept this, but you should not if you intend to use it with older products. Let us see what gives.

Notice the same serial number. Likewise, pay attention to the PAE featured used in the converted copy of the virtual machine. Please note that if your virtual machines are running Windows, you will need to make sure you have enough licenses to run the several instances of the operating system in parallel. You are probably good for the few seconds of testing, but each virtual machine requires its own license. You may also need to reactive your installation. Vice versa Oh, yes, the other direction is fairly simple. VBoxManage clonehd source.vmdk target.vdi --format VDI And that's it.

Conversion method 2: QEMU is an old friend, too. We've seen in my very article on virtualization, when I was still young and naive. Strike that, I was never young. We have also used QEMU to convert VMDK disks to RAW format, so we could use them with machines. The concept is exactly the same here. And it works both ways.

VDI to VMDK It's extremely simple. Qemu-img convert something.vdi -O vmdk something.vmdk VMDK to VDI You have two ways to do this. Use a one-step qemu-img-vdi tool or go about using classic qemu-img, which will require an intermediate conversion to raw format. Qemu-img-vdi Pretty much like all other conversions we've seen before: qemu-img-vdi convert something.vmdk -O vdi something.vdi qemu-img Now, using qemu-img, you have two steps, first convert to RAW format, then use VBoxManage to convert to VDI. Older versions of VirtualBox used the tool called vditool, so you may find online resources that reference this utility. Step 1: Convert VMDK to RAW (you don't need any file extension, btw) qemu-img convert something.vmdk something.raw Step 2: Convert RAW to VDI VBoxManage convertdd something.raw something.vdi Note: If you're using sparse disks, as we've seen in other tutorials, the raw file will them inflated to their intended max.
