This script lets you import a virtual machine disk image to VirtualBox

Based on import-to-ovirt.pl by Richard W.M. Jones

IMPORTANT NOTES:

(1) This script requires a 64 bit host. Perl will cause silent overflows on 32 bit hosts.

Requirements:

  • perl
  • perl-Pod-Usage* (on debian/ubuntu: perl-doc)
  • perl-Getopt-Long*
  • perl-File-Temp*
  • perl-POSIX*
  • perl-XML-Writer (on debian/ubuntu: libxml-writer-perl)
  • perl-Sys-Guestfs (on debian/ubuntu: libguestfs-perl)
  • uuid-runtime

* usually provided as part of base Perl package

For instructions, read the script or do:

./import2vbox.pl --help
./import2vbox.pl --man

For running the tests, you need ovftool from VMware, available at https://code.vmware.com/web/tool/4.3.0/ovf is necessary
