Hello, Would like to know the export/migration options for exporting ProxMox containers to VMware or Hyper-V. I can't seem to located any information, tools, or somebody who has done this.
 
OpenVZ container does not include a kernel, therefore you need to setup a new OS on you target platform and then you need to move your data manually step by step, there are no special tools for this.

you can use rsync for example.

install a base vm with kernel in your vmware or hyperv,

then on your new vm:


rsync --exclude=/var/lib/initramfs-tools/* --exclude=/var/lock --exclude=/etc/fstab --exclude=/etc/modules --exclude=/etc/mtab --exclude=/boot/* --exclude=/proc/* --exclude=/lib/modules/* --exclude=/tmp/* --exclude=/dev/* --exclude=/sys/* -e ssh --delete-after --numeric-ids -avpogtStlHz / root@sourcevm:/
