Several ways to interact with vsphere and workstation virtual machines (iv)

3.2 Uploading a virtual machine to vsphere

After you have downloaded the virtual machine folder from vsphere to local, you can replicate the interaction between the different ESXi by copying the virtual machine folder to the ESXi store by replicating it to another vsphere through the network, the active hard drive, and then uploading the virtual machines to the ESXi inventory.

(1) Log in to Vcenter Server or ESXi using vsphere client, select ESXi host on the left, and in configuration → memory, right-click to browse to save the virtual machine's storage, and select "Browse Datastore" in the Popup shortcut menu, 3-6.
