The VMware OVF Tool converts an OVF VM image into VMX format, so the VM image can be used with VMware Converter.

Notes

  • You don’t need this tool if you’re importing images directly from a VMware hypervisor, such as ESXi, VMware Workstation, or VMware Fusion into Skytap; OVF Tool is a supplemental tool that supports VMware Converter.
  • Some VirtualBox OVA files are incompatible with VMware products. For more information, see https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/7982.
