Hi Mario,

you might also want to look at some of the other vendor converters -
depending on which HV you are converting to:

https://www.citrix.com/go/products/xenserver/xenserver-xenconvert-free.html
http://www.vmware.com/uk/products/converter
https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=42497

Nux¹ comments still stand though - whatever migration method you use you
will have to sort HV specific drivers and tools as part of the conversion
- which sometimes involve some surgery.

Regards,
Dag Sonstebo
