When you restore a VM from a different hypervisor to create a VMware VM, the conversion process includes operations to copy configuration settings and VM data.
The conversion process includes the following stages:
-
Determine the operating system for the converted VM.
-
Create the VM.
-
Select a SCSI controller that is compatible with the guest operating system that you selected for the conversion.
-
Add disks to the VM.
-
Write data.
-
Apply a generalized configuration file.
-
Reconfigure the VM to apply CPU, memory, and network settings similar to the source VM.
-
Customize the VM to modify the IP address, start drivers, and modify the destination computer name.
