Steps followed:
Step 1: Export your virtual machine
The first step is to export your virtual machine from VirtualBox.
Step 2: Editing your .ovf file
The file you need to edit will be the .ovf file that serves as the descriptor for your virtual machine. You MUST open this in a text editor. Do NOT open it in a word processor as this will add extra characters to the file, which will render it unreadable by either VirtualBox or VMWare. The first section you need to edit is the format section. Look for a line of code (near the top) that contains this phrase:
ovf:format=
What follows that section needs to be changed to:
"http://www.vmware.com/interfaces/specifications/vmdk.html#streamOptimized"
The next edit (in the same file) is the Virtual SystemType, and it must be one of the following:
<vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-07</vssd:VirtualSystemType> (for a esx 4.0)
<vssd:VirtualSystemType>vmx-04</vssd:VirtualSystemType> (for esx 3.5.x and 4.0 hosts)
Believe it or not, the next item to edit is the rsad for the sound card. The section will look similar to:
<Item>
<rasd:Caption>sound</rasd:Caption>
<rasd:Description>Sound Card</rasd:Description>
<rasd:InstanceId>6</rasd:InstanceId>
<rasd:ResourceType>35</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:ResourceSubType>ensoniq1371</rasd:ResourceSubType>
<rasd:AutomaticAllocation>false</rasd:AutomaticAllocation>
<rasd:AddressOnParent>3</rasd:AddressOnParent>
</Item>
To the above section, add the following after the first <Item> tag:
<Item ovf:required="false">
Step 3: Using the OVF tool
This step requires you to download and install the VMWare OVF Tool (you will have to log in first). The OVF tool is command-line only, and it will convert your newly prepped .ovf file into a .vmx that VMWare can use. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start | Run.
- Type cmd.
- In the command window, change to the directory you installed the OVF Tool into and then issue the command:ovftool appliance.ovf new_appliance.vmx(Where appliance.ovf is the name of the appliance you exported from VirtualBox and new_appliance.vmx is the name you want to give the new virtual appliance. Depending on the size of your virtual appliance, this could take a while.)
