Re: [CentOS-virt] Migrating from VMWare Workstation

Dear virt list

I have some virtual machines running on my notebook under VMWare 6.5.2 64 bit that I would like to move to a current 64 bit CentOS 5.3 machine with a current Intel Xeon processor. The virtual machines do use the GUI, e.g. they are not text only.

Is it better to use VMware server or Xen?

If using Xen, do I have to convert the images?

1: you can not run XEN and VMWare server at the same time. VMWare refuses to install with a XEN-enabled kernel. 2: A How-To for migrating CentOS images is at http://www.funkypenguin.info/tutorial/how-to-convert-a-centos-5-vmware-image...

Will try it next week.
