VM Import Methods#
Multiple methods are available for importing existing VMs into VergeOS:
-
From Media Images To import one VM at a time; requires the upload of VM media files (.vmx,.vhd(x), .qcow,.etc.) to the vSAN.
-
From a VMware Service Backup Job Data is accessed using the VMware agent for direct connection (independent of storage hardware). This is the best method for importing multiple VMs from a running, production VMware environment.
-
From a NAS Volume Data is pulled from CIFS or NFS share accessing existing VM data storage.
