How To Import a ESXI VM In Proxmox Virtual Environment

The new Proxmox import wizard for migrating VMware ESXi is a great new tool that certainly helps fill the gap to migrate from VMware to Proxmox.

It is easy to gain access to the Proxmox new import wizard for migrating VMware ESXi VMs and thankfully Proxmox has made the needed packages available with simple updates. There are a couple of things to know:
- You need to be pointed to the pvetest or pve-no-subscription repositories
- You need to update your pve-manager to version 8.1.8 and libpve-storage-perl version 8.1.3 or newer

Before the migration, you will likely want to remove any guest tools (VMware Tools).
Note down the guest network configuration, so you can manually restore it if something happens.

On Windows, Proxmox notes in the documentation it is best practice to remove any static network configuration. After the migration, the network adapter will change identifiers and Windows will show a warning if you configure the same IP address on another network adapter, when the old adapter is no longer present.
Power down the source VM (this is required).

The steps for the migration are easy:
- Adding VMware ESXi storage to your Proxmox host
- Importing a VMware ESXi VM in Proxmox
