It's just a folder on the host PC which VirtualBox will treat as the contents of a data CD. (**) An "Ad Hoc ISO" is not an actual ISO file. Macrium takes care of correcting partition sizes, converting between EFI and MBR BIOSes etc. Then you boot the VM from the ad-hoc ISO. Burn one copy on a CD and then copy the ISO to the virtualization server (the host). Create an empty virtual machine with enough disk space, selecting the OS you’re going to migrate. No need to install an OS, just create the VM. Install a virtualization software on the desired machine. You create a VM which is compatible with the physical PC as best you can. This ISO can be reused for future P2V projects. brew install qemu This will provide the entire suite of QEMU tools and commands, including qemu-img, which is used to convert virtual machine images on the command line. You first create an "ad hoc" ISO which contains the Macrium Restore CD files plus your macrium backup image. (*) Macrium Reflect is a backup tool, not a P2V tool, however it's almost as easy to use. So in either case you should convert to VDI before use.įor optimum performance you would share CPU and RAM resources equitably with the host, install the GAs and locate the VM on an SSD.
The performance questions regarding VMDK (or VHD) are moot, because neither is the preferred format for use in VirtualBox. Share Improve this answer Follow answered at 21:59 Alfred. You can also image the physical PC with Disk2VHD, or use a commercial (with free version) tool such as Macrium Reflect (*). on Ubuntu Linux Komsole on follow way: qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O raw yoursourcefile.vmdk yourdestinationfile.img Thats works fine for MBR a dont work for GPT.
