TechNote: Converting a Virtual Hard Disk -- OVA to VHD
|
- Extract: Using 7-Zip extract the convents of the OVA file
You should get an OVF file, and a VMDK file as a result of the extract. - Convert: Using the VBoxManage.exe utility that comes with VitualBox type the following command:
C:> VBoxManage clonehd --format vhd disk1.vmdk disk1.vhd
This will create a VHD file from the VMDK file. - Copy: Place the VHD file in an appropriate location.
- Create: Using Hyper-V Manager you can Create a "New" > "Virtual Machine..." using the VHD file as an "existing virtual hard disk".
This process should result in you having a virtual image that is equvilent to the OVA you started with.
