Open VMware Workstation Pro, and click on the virtual machine that you want to virtualize, in a new VMware tab.

Step 5: Export VMware Workstation Pro Virtual Machine to OVF (optional) The exporting process will start and might take significant time, depending upon the size of the virtual hard drives.Īfter the conversion is complete, you can find the converted virtual machine on ‘OVA’ format, in the location, where you have configured it during the conversion process.īefore proceeding with, how you can import it to VMware Workstation Pro, we will find out, how you can convert a virtual machine within VMware Workstation Pro to the OVF or OVA format. Just click on ‘Export’ to start the process of exporting the virtual machine. Now, the description will be displayed to you. You can now change the location, where the virtual machine will be stored and would recommend you to keep the other settings default. In the next step, make sure, ‘ Open Virtualization Format 1.0 ’ is chosen. You can click on ‘ Expert Mode ’ to configure some advanced settings, but we don’t need that now. Now choose the virtual machine that you want to export, and click on ‘Next’. Step 2: Choose the virtual machine to export Open Oracle VirtualBox, click on ‘File’ in the menu bar, and then click on ‘ Export Appliance… ’, or just use the ‘ Ctrl+E ’ shortcut key. Step 1 – Export Appliance on Oracle VirtualBox On VMware Workstation Pro Convert Virtual Box VM to use in VMware Workstation Player Converting a virtual machine to OVA/OVF So I will talk about, how you can convert a virtual machine to ‘ Open Virtual Appliance ’ or OVA format on both VMware Workstation Pro and Oracle VirtualBox, and then, proceed with how you can convert or import the same to the format that is natively supported by VMware Workstation Pro, and Oracle VirtualBox. The second is to import it to the virtual machine platform, where you want to use it. First is, converting the virtual machine, to a common format recognizable by most, or at least the target virtual machine platform.
When it comes to converting a virtual machine, so that it can be used by a different virtual machine software, two steps are involved.
So, without any for the delay, let’s get started with how you can do that. So today I will talk about, how you can switch between Oracle VirtualBox and VMware Workstation Pro so that you can use a virtual machine created using VirtualBox on VMware workstation and vice versa. When it comes to you switching between virtual machine platforms, you should convert your virtual machine on a particular platform to some universal format, or some other format, which can be recognized by the virtual machine platform that you are going to use. The bottom line is, you might sometimes find it necessary to switch to a new virtualization platform even though you might not need to do that every single day. You might move to a new organization which may depend on a separate virtualization platform, or you just want to change your existing infrastructure and start using different virtual machine platform, for varying requirements, or anything else. Even though, you might be comfortable on one of the two most popular virtualization platforms or any other popular virtualization platform, it sometimes becomes necessary to switch to a different virtual machine platform, for example from VirtualBox to VMware Workstation or vice versa. To create and deal with virtual machines you might depend upon Oracle VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Pro, which are the two most popular cross-platform virtual machine managers available out there.
