Migrating from vmware esxi to xcp-ng

[paia]

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

1. Download vm to local disk (from esxi 7) using ovftool: 
   
   ovftool.exe vi://ip-of-esxi/vm-name c:\mydirectory\
2. Convert to OVA files using ovftool: 
   
   ovftool.exe c:\mydirectory\vm-name\vm-name.ovf c:\mydirectory\vm-name\vm-name.ova
   
   
3. Import vm to xcp-ng using XOA.
   
4. For Ubuntu - change adapter in /etc/netplan/config-name.yaml to eth0. Then run: 
   
   netplan apply
5. Reboot the vm.
   
6. Uninstall vmware tools: 
   
   sudo apt remove open-vm-tools
7. Mount ISO with tools from XOA, shutdown & start the vm. Mount the CD and install tools: 
   
   mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
bash /mnt/Linux/install.sh
umount /dev/cdrom
