Any guides on going from ESXi with VMs back to unRAID with VMs?

 

Currently ESXi 5.0, unRAID 5.0.5, plus several VMs

Been ages since did the setup, not sure how to recreate it.

 

Thinking of going Bare Metal unRAID 6 with the VMs under that but have no clue on how to convert my current VMs under ESXi to run under unRAID (KVM?)

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have Windows VMs you will have to reactivate them.  So for all but one of my Windows VMs I just installed again from scratch and transferred the apps that were installed (chrome bookmarks, SageTV's wiz.bin etc...).  The only one I transferred was my financial VM where I have my tax software installed for each year.  I imaged the ESXi VM using Acronis True Image and then restored on the unRAID VM with the "Universal Restore" feature from my True Image Plus Pack for v11 (really old I know but it works since I'm using Windows 7).
