NAME

       vmware2libvirt - vmware vmx to libvirt xml converter

SYNOPSIS

       vmware2libvirt [-q] -f FILE

DESCRIPTION

       This program outputs a libvirt xml file based on an existing vmware vmx file

OPTIONS

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -q, --qemu
	      use qemu instead of kvm

       -f FILE, --file=FILE
	      vmware vmx file to convert

USAGE

       To start using a pre-existing vmware image with libvirt, you simply copy the vmware .vmx file and .vmdk file to a new directory. Then do:

	 vmware2libvirt -f ./file.vmx > file.xml
	 virsh -c qemu:///system define file.xml

       At this point, your vmware image should be available to libvirt.

CAVEATS

       vmware2libvirt currently will use the first scsi disk if found, otherwise the first ide disk. It will also use the first ethernet interface
       found.
