Switching from other hypervisors

By choosing one of the various methods available, migration can be achieved successfully.

Usually, GNU/Linux and Unix VMs can be imported without hassle. OVF and OVA files can be directly imported from file-based storages in the GUI.

To import a VMware ESXi VM as a whole, the integrated import wizard will help. This imports the VM as a whole, with most of its config mapped to Proxmox VE's config model and reduced downtime.
