Migrating a Vm from Proxmox to Vmware

[AndyDe]

Hello,
I need to migrate a Vm from Proxmox 6.4.9 to VmWare 7.0.1
Considering I'm inexperienced in both, there is a guide (not too technical) that allows me to do it ?

While I most likely can't help too much, you should at least provide some more details, e.g. about the concrete setup of your existing VMs. Especially which image formats are used, because those might need to be converted, if you have VM-snapshots available and want to migrate them as well, how your network is set up to see how that can be implemented in ESXi etc.

In general, you should create a similar thread in some VMware-specific forum, those people most likely know best about their product. But to be honest, the approach will be VERY technical in my opinion, so it might be easier for you to buy some expert doing that migration for you.

Both on Proxmox and on Vmware I already have working virtual machines, I don’t know them well but I’m not really a novice.
I cloned the proxmox machine and moved the disk to the nas with vdmk extension, The problem now is whether I can create a virtual machine on Vmware and then link the disk of the Proxmox machine suitably converted.
I will also ask on the Vmware forums, I hoped that also here someone had the same need.

If you have a properly converted VMDK, yes. Everything else depends on the guest OS, like if the necessary drivers for the devices provided by VMware are available, e.g. for storage, network etc. Those things can easily be tested on a copy of your VMDK, though.
