VMware -> Proxmox / continue in vmdk?

[trendco]

Hi,

is there a disadvantage if I migrate a VMware machine to Proxmox and let them continue to run in vmdk format?

I am not aware of any major issues, but I do not run production VM using vmdk disk images so I cannot say anything from real live.

I also very much like to know

I've moved Windows Server 2003 VM from VMWare server to Proxmox.
It runs fine after flatting disk image, just don't forget to apply mergeide.reg to registry.

To flatten, use following command in VMWare:
vmware-vdiskmanager -r source.vmwarevm/source.vmdk -t 0 flat.vmdk
