Migration should be doable. I'm not sure if there are any issues in migration,
but you may give it a shot.


Should you migrate, it may depend on what your core requirements are.

VirtualBox has a much nicer UI integrating all features, very well, into its
Graphical interface.


On the other hand, KVM is the stock in-kernel hypervisor for Linux, which has a
much larger userbase (Oepnstack, RHEV etc) and gets much more testing.


In the past, I've migrated my setups from both ways. Initially, from KMV to
VBox, and then later again from VBox to KVM.

VM disk image conversion was fairly stable. I had no issues during image
conversion.

For config settings, I just noted down the settings and applied the same when
importing it to the other hypervisor. For a large number of VMs, this may not be
optimal.
