The feature we will be utilizing is the clonehd functionality, that allows us to clone our virtual machine disk and in addition to cloning, we can specify the output format of the new virtual disk image. It gives us total control of our virtual machines and environment directly from the command line/terminal. VBoxManage is a utility that is prepackaged with VirtualBox and can be invoked through the command line or Powershell on Windows or the terminal on Linux. However, we can take advantage of one of the most useful features VirtualBox has to offer in regards to managing and maintaining virtual machines. By default, VirtualBox utilizes the VDI (Virtual Disk Image) format for storage, whereas VMware uses the VMDK format, this can make migrating from one hypervisor to another quite cumbersome as you will have to reinstall/reconfigure your VM’s. This guide is aimed at helping you migrate your virtual machines from VirtualBox to VMware.
