Linux for Noobs

Here are some steps needed to perform migration of virtual machines:

Download vm to local disk (from esxi 7) using ovftool:

Code:
ovftool.exe vi://ip-of-esxi/vm-name c:\mydirectory\
Convert to OVA files using ovftool:

Code:
ovftool.exe c:\mydirectory\vm-name\vm-name.ovf c:\mydirectory\vm-name\vm-name.ova
Import vm to xcp-ng using XOA.
For Ubuntu - change adapter in /etc/netplan/config-name.yaml to eth0. Then run:

Code:
netplan apply
Reboot the vm.
Uninstall vmware tools:

Mount ISO with tools from XOA, shutdown & start the vm. Mount the CD and install tools:
