Move Virtual Machine (UBUNTU) from VMWARE to UNRAID

[TRIXMED]

I forgot to write that if we give the entire path to the file, including the entire name of the virtual disk (.vmdk), there is no need to edit the xml file

I am writing about it because it may be useful to someone

[TRIXMED]

Please help again.
I want to move windows 7.vmdk machine
to Unraid. I tried to move with several variants but failed.
As machine Q35-5.1 does not start at all.
If machine is selected i440-fx it tries to start but blue screen appears.
I chose virtio-win-0.1.190.iso as virtual driver iso

Likely because the virtual hardware changed. Set the windows 7 iso as cd rom in the virtual machine, boot from there and repair the installation with the iso.

Did you try to switch from virtio to sata?

Windows is already running.
I only changed Primary vDisk Bus to: SATA
There is no network access yet.
I tried to change the Network Model:
vitio-net or virtio but no difference.
Information appears that there are no drivers for the network card

Try to change this:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:e0:68:dc'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio-net'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

To this:

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='52:54:00:e0:68:dc'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='e1000-82545em'/>
      <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03' function='0x0'/>
    </interface>

Just a note, I think you can use the virtio type for network, you have just to install the drivers from the virtio iso that you mounted. Just mounting the virtio iso in the vm doesn't mean the drivers are installed in the vm.

Since I had successfully ported Linux and WIN7 machines to UNRAIDA, I didn't think there would be problems with Win10.
