Moving a large amount of VMs from vmware to virtualbox

[Ibil]

Hi there,

I need to move more than 60 virtual machines (preferably with the library too) from windows host vmware to linux host virtualbox. The OVF tool is not bad but it converts only 1 machine at a time and is slow and sometimes unreliable. Any idea how to make this easier, preferably with the library too, like some "mass moving" option?

Thank you!

Not that I'm aware of. The obvious thing would be to write a script that calls VBoxManage. And that's assuming you've done all the internal work (removing all VMware tools).

Migration is not easy, even with a compatible transport format. I wouldn't expect this to be done quickly and without per VM nursing through the difficult stages.
