Если честно, VMware мне больше нравится чем VirtualBox, но лицензию я не хочу покупать для домашнего использования. По этому, выбор пал на то, чтобы перейти с VMware Fusion на VirtualBox. Для этого дела, мне пришлось зарегистрироваться на официальном сайте, заполнить данные. Но сразу я скачать не смог, возникли трудности с ПО и мне нужно было обратиться в поддержку. Поддержка решала данный вопрос около недели, но все решилось и я смог загрузить DMG на свой мак.
Конвертация VMware virtual machine -> VirtualBox на MacOS
Для начала, заходим на официальный сайт и качаем утилиту под названием «ovftool».
Установить DMG на МасОС через CLI можно так:
Установка dmg пакетов через CLI (командную строку) в MacOS X
Монтирование dmg образов через CLI (командную строку) в MacOS X
При использовании мака, утилита установится по следующему пути:
/Applications/VMware\ OVF\ Tool/ovftoolЧтобы получить помощь, выполните:
$ /Applications/VMware\ OVF\ Tool/ovftool -h
Usage: ovftool [options] <source> [<target>]
where
<source>: Source URL locator to an OVF package, VMX file, or virtual machine in
vCenter or on ESX Server.
<target>: Target URL locator which specifies either a file location, or a
location in the vCenter inventory or on an ESX Server.
If <target> is not specified, information about the source is displayed to the
console.
Options:
--acceptAllEulas : Accept all end-user licenses agreements
without being prompted.
--allowAllExtraConfig : Whether we allow all the ExtraConfig
options. These options are a security risk
as they control low-level and potential
unsafe options on the VM.
--allowExtraConfig : Whether we allow ExtraConfig options. These
options are a security risk as they control
low-level and potential unsafe options on
the VM.
--annotation : Add annotation to vi, vmx, vapprun, vCloud,
OVF, and OVA source locators
--authdPortSource : Use this to override default vmware authd
port (902) when using a host as source.

port (902) when using a host as target.
--chunkSize : Specifies the chunk size to use for files in
a generated OVF package. The default is not
to chunk. The chunk size without unit is
assumed to be in megabytes. Accepted units
are b, kb, mb, gb; e.g., 2gb or 100kb.
--compress : Compress the disks in an OVF package. Value
must be between 1 and 9. 1 is the fastest,
but gives the worst compression, whereas 9
is the slowest, but gives the best

using the syntax --computerName:<VM
ID>=<value>. Only applies to vCloud targets
version 5.5 or newer.

applies to vCloud targets version 5.5 or
newer.

package. The value should be an SPBM profile
ID. Only applies to VI targets version 5.5
or newer.

system or virtual system collection in the
OVF. If the EULA is in a file, use the
option --eula@=filename instead.

CD/Floppy/Parallel/Serial devices. This can
limit portability as not all device backings
are supported on all hypervisors. The
default is false.

Opening VMX source: /Users/captain/VirtualBox VMs/Windows 7/Windows 7 x64.vmwarevm/Windows 7 x64.vmx
Opening OVF target: windows_7.ovf
Writing OVF package: windows_7.ovf
Disk progress: 5%В папке которой был выполнен экспорт файлов, появятся файлы. Кликаем по файлу с «*.ovf» (у меня это windows_7.ovf):
Смотрим что хотим импортить, если что — изменяем и нажимаем на «Import». Импортинг занял 2 минуты у меня для Виндовс 7.
С приходом 64-битной ОС в МакОС, стало сложнее использование старые утилиты. Новые тоже не просто найти бесплатно. По этому, пришлось уйти с VMware…
Конвертация VMware virtual machine -> VirtualBox на Linux
В принципе — все тоже самое что я делал в МакОС, только нужно скачать бинарный файл для Linux-а. Если у кого-то возникнут трудность — смогу помочь! Пишите в комментариях возникшие ошибки и при первой возможности — отпишусь.
Вот и все, статья «Конвертация VMware virtual machine -> VirtualBox в Unix/Linux» завершена.
