Migrate VM from ESXi to TrueNAS Scale

ubuntu 20.04

Application Used: qemu-img


Command line: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw image.vmdk image.img
You will find three vmdk files on the ESXi VM directory. The file named -flat.vmdk is the VM disk to be
converted.

1) Consolidate disks to ensure all is consolidated


From the UI: Virtual Machines → <VM> → Actions → Snapshots →
Consolidate Disks

2) Download <vm>-flac.vmdk file and <vm>.vmdk

3) Use qemu-img to convert:

qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw <vm>.vmdk <vm>.img

i.e.:

mello@olinda:/mnt/volume1/Downloads$ qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw subsonic.vmdk


subsonic.img
mello@olinda:/mnt/volume1/Downloads$ ll subsonic*
-rw------- 1 mello mello 68719476736 Jul 26 15:18 subsonic-flat.vmdk
-rw-r--r-- 1 mello mello 68719476736 Jul 26 16:40 subsonic.img
-rw------- 1 mello mello 612 Jul 26 16:24 subsonic.vmdk

4) create zvol
5) upload raw disk to zvol

scale# dd if=/mnt/tank/cifs/repository/subsonic.img of=/dev/zvol/tank/virtual_machines/subsonic

Issues

1) No IP address

Cause:
• Original VM from ESXi had interface named ens160;
• Migrated VM has an interface configured as ens3
Solution:
• Edit the configuration file under /etc/netplan and change the interface name from the old to
the new one. File type yaml.
• Execute netplan apply to obtain an ip address
