Convert Virtualbox .vdi to VMware .vmdk
I love VirtualBox because is fast and without a lot overhead. But network bridging is kind of pain in the ass with VirtualBox . I hope they change this fast. Anyways I had to convert my VirtualBox images to the VMware file format. This is easily done with qemu-img a nice tool bundled with qemu. It can handle several file formats:
Supported format: qcow2 vvfat vpc bochs dmg cloop vmdk qcow host_device raw
So you could convert some other stuff too. Converting is easily done (this example is for Linux by using qemu on centos):
qemu-img convert -O vmdk hdd.vdi hdd.vmdk
In this case we convert the disk hdd.vdi to hdd.vmdk. The input format is detected automatically but can be overridden by adding -f switch. Output is vmdk as given with the -O switch.
