How to import VMware Workstation Virtual Machine files to ESX Server -- vmx to ovf format

1. About the vmx format

The vmx file is the configuration file of the vmwarevm system. Note: This file cannot be found after vmware workstation is installed. After you create a virtual machine in VMware Workstation, this file appears. This file is used to record the configurations of your virtual machine, such as the memory size and hard disk type.

2. ovf format

The open configuralization format (ovf) specification is a standard developed within the Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) Association, it aims to promote an open, secure, migratable, effective, and scalable format for encapsulating and distributing software that will run on virtual machines.
After installing esxi4.1, I want to import the virtual host configured in workstation to it. However, if I import files from VMware to the ESX Server, an error occurs when the service is started, so we should make the files in the original workstation into an ovf file and then import it!
3. Conversion tools

Use workstation7.0to install an ovftool.exe tool in the upper-right corner. You can find the tool in c: \ Program Files \ VMware ovf tool in the default path.
