My recollection is that VMware provides a converter to change your
VMware non-ESX VMs into ESX format.
Do you have to buy ESX to gain access to it?

The instructions assume that I have an ESX instance to connect to.
How do I do this with an already exported vmware image with no esx
available to connect to? I have a turnkey drupal vm in ovf format

I submitted an RFE to have vmware image conversion added to 3.5. I
think that is a key feature that is lacking. Im just trying to get
some eyes on it here.

can you comment on the gaps from virt-v2v which does this today (in
the bug as well).
thanks,
Itamar
iirc, you need an ESX currently.
Some of us are stuck without a way to try out ovirt because of this. ESX is
not the only platform that people run VMWare on. I am trying to bring over
VMs from an old VMWare Server setup on Centos 5. Works fine, but there is
no migration path. Other people may have VMs on VMWare Workstation or
other, older products. We just get told to go fly a kite?
If the only choice is to bring up a full-blown, working ESX instance, I may
bring up ESXi and stay there.
