authentication chain can't be repaired or bypassed, can I migrate
the .vm?? files to a new virtualization environment?
It's been a long time since I did this but I am fairly sure that I have
used qemu-img to convert images from VMWare format to raw disk images
that can be used by Xen. I imagine these days that it might be better to
migrate to images suitable for KVM although that might be the same
format. That might be the easy bit since the virtualised hardware may
well be different and might render the images unbootable - at which
point you may well need to boot a rescue CD on the new VM and rebuild
the initrd to pick up the right drivers, rejig the network connections
etc, maybe change device names in /etc/fstab and probably a whole raft
of other things I've not thought of in a 10 second think about it.
