How to migrate a bunch of machines from Proxmox to Vmware Esxi quickly and for free?

Question

Computer networks

I have 2 proxmox servers slowly dying, on which a large number of small virtual machines are running on various Linux, freeware and various versions of desktop and server windows. A new piece of hardware has appeared, on which a free version of vmware vsphere has been piled up, and now it is necessary to transfer virtual machines from old servers to a new one as quickly as possible. What is the best way to do this without using paid software and a large number of man hours?

Answer 1

I moved like this:
If the LVM disk
1. Make a snapshot
2. qemu-img convert /dev/myvg/myvolume_snapshot -O vmdk myvolume.vmdk
3. Copy to the esxi or shared storage node (depending on how you implemented it)
vmkfstools -i myvolume. vmdk out-myvolume.vmdk -d thin
4. Create a VM and attach this "disk" to it
If the disk is qcow
2. qemu-img convert -f qcow2 myvolume.qcow2 -O vmdk
myvolume.vmdk man

Well, transfer it SMOOTHLY
It will not work out quickly. If only because it will be necessary to test everything after the transfer.
