  Converting VMware Virtual Appliances for Use with Virtual Iron

Did you know that you can easily convert your VMware virtual hard disk images (VMDK files) into Microsoft's VMD format? Using the VMDSK to VHD Converter, I was able to do this in just 4 steps!


Once you download the converter (they do ask you to register), all you have to do is open the vmdk2vhd.exe files and:


  1. Select your source VMware virtual hard disk image (a VMDK file).
  2. Choose a location to save the converted VHD file to.
  3. Click 'convert' and let the converter run.
  4. Import the VHD file into Virtual Iron. You're done!

Here is a screen shot of the converter (steps 1 to 3 above):

And a screenshot of Virtual Iron Virtualization Manager where you import the VHD file (step 4):
