Migrating virtual machines from
other virtualization platforms

The VMmanager platform documentation provides detailed instructions on importing VMs from Hyper-V, VirtualBox, VMware, Xen, and various hypervisors using QEMU-KVM technology.

We will need the following for migration

Platform documentation

Detailed instructions for working with VMmanager for administrators and users with answers to a variety of questions

VM import support

Ability to migrate virtual machines from third-party virtualization tools to the VMmanager platform

How does this work?

The VMmanager documentation contains step-by-step guides on how to migrate VMs. Importing virtual machines does not require specialized virtual machine migration software.

To prepare for migration, you need to convert the machine to the required format and move it to the cluster node.

The next step is to connect the storage and create a VM with the required parameters in VMmanager

To migrate disks, you need to replace the disk files created by the platform with the files of the VM being migrated.

After this, the imported VM is ready to run. If necessary, you can connect to it via VNC or SPICE and change its network settings.

Migrating virtual
infrastructure to
VMmanager

VMmanager is a mature virtualization platform that ensures stable operation of both small installations and large infrastructures. When migrating from other virtualization platforms, the infrastructure administrator needs to migrate virtual machines to VMmanager.

No specialized migration software is required to import VMs. The VMmanager documentation describes in detail the entire process of migrating virtual machines from Hyper-V, VirtualBox, VMware, Xen and various platforms based on QEMU-KVM technology.

For a successful migration, you only need to complete 4 steps – prepare the virtual machine for migration, prepare VMmanager, migrate the VM disks and start it. The manual contains detailed descriptions of commands and explanations for them.

If necessary, you can contact the VMmanager technical support team. Our engineers will answer all your questions and help ensure a seamless VM migration.
