[PVE-User] Vmware to Proxmox migration

[Alain Péan]

Hi Muhammad,

Did you remove first vmware tools from the VM ? It is the first step 
explained in your link for a VMware to Proxmox migration.
Your link points to Physical machine. For a vmware VM (see latter on the 
page), you should be able to just use the image file. Personnally, I 
would not use a growable (or dynamic) disk image, but a fixed size disk 
image (better performance, and insure it will not fill space when 
growing), so rename it from vmdk to .raw file.

If you use the vmware tools (then vmware video drivers, or storage 
drivers...), inside the VM, they will be recognized by KVM, hence 
Proxmox....

Clonezilla is in my opinion only usefull fot physical machine...
