- Alright so this short video we migrate a windows vm from esxi 8.0 to proxmox.
You will need the following:
OVFTOOL Link developer.vmwa...
Commands you will use after installing:
ovftool vi://root@hostip/vmname /storageonproxmox
qm importovf 333 /storageonproxmox/vmname.ovf
Tweak your bios, add your network devices, and change the storage and boom basically done.
If you want to do say a whole host at once. I learned everything here:

Thanks for the tutorial. Made it easy to import my OVF’s from VMWorkstation 17 to Proxmox worked like a champ. Just wish I could connect to it like you can with ESXI.
Great tutorial, will refer to this when I migrate across
What I have seen being done to migrate vms off of vSphere is that they would enable the NFS server on proxmox, import that share as a Datastore in vSphere and do a storage live migration to it. Then you can easily import the vmdk without much fuss
That is def a way to do it. If you can share your storage out should go pretty fast. If I had some different equipment I'd love to showed off more options
Thank you for this walkthrough, was having issues until I tried dropping and attaching the SATA drive. The Proxmox new import tool has worked on some linux systems, but seems to lockup the ESX interface. Looking forward to their future upgrades (thanks broadcom...)
You're welcome!
Thanks for the great guide, watched it twice already, occasionally glancing at the neighboring monitor with "transferred 75.2 GiB of 160.0 GiB (47.03%)" 🤓
Thanks for the tutorial bro. This helped me a ton and saved me a lot of time. For anyone running into an issue exporting a specific machine over from Esx, maybe this will help: I ran into an issue exporting a windows machine and received the error:
Received SOAP response fault from []: exportVm
vmfs/volumes/5c5blahblah/iso/SW_DVD9_Win_Pr_10_.ISO was not found..
I couldnt export the VM and thought it was trying to capture one of the ISOs I had in another folder so i deleted it. Turns out i needed to delete the reference to the Windows ISO i still had mounted in the VMs CD Rom config.
Good tip!
Cool , i see SDN enable in your video ... for virtual machine or support cluster network ?
Right now in this cluster neither. But I'll probably use it for virtual machines. Makes managing their networks easier across nodes for sure.
Sadly, The OVF tools are no longer for download anymore. T_T.

First im very new to Prox and Linux in general.
Im getting an error that seems to deal with port 443. I found a couple sites saying to enable "esxupdate" on the ESXi firewall. I did that and still getting the error.
Error: Internal error: Failed to connect to remote host [IP Address] due to [No version for VMODL calls to ]
Specs
Proxmox 8.2.2
ESXi 7.0 update 2
Are your proxmox hosts and esxi hosts on the same network?
@@sysadminsean They was not. I added Prox to the ESXi subnet and now its working.
That's the easy way to do it. If you wanted to keep them separate you would have to most likely work on firewall rules and route tables
Error: Cannot parse locator: [3Url:0x0000560f92f0daf0]
Completed with errors
i am getting this error, what could be the reason? Please help
I'm guessing you're getting this after a migration job? Can you share a bit on how your environment is configured?
@@sysadminsean when i run ovftool vi://192.168.2.45/TestVM /ISO, it asks me for username and password. i input username and password and this error occurs.
This is a new one for me and I'm not sure how to help. Does it actually do the copy at all?
Not relevant, because in proxmox 8.2+ added option for import ESXi machines directly from GIU.
Thats why there's another video though some folks do have trouble with that esxi importer so they can at least attempt this method as well.
Have you tried migrating vcenter?
I have not. At the time I tested the import tool they suggested not doing it via vcenter as it would be much slower.
Hello, Does not work with Windows 7. is there a solution ?
What errors are you getting? Did you install the qemu tools? Are you running bitlocker, tpm, etc. ? I don't do much with desktop OSes these days but I can try to help
@@sysadminsean Hi, it work with BIOS(SeaBIOS). Many thanks
Failed with windows 2019.
Did ypu get any errors or issues starting the vm after import?
