You can also use the VirtualBox “Export Appliance” if you prefer to. Once the VM is available on VirtualBox, ran the below command to export the VM to OVF. Then created a new VM on the VirtualBox and used this Disk instead of a new one. Qemu-img convert -f qcow2 myvm.qcow2 -O vmdk myvm.vmdk We have used the below command to convert the qcow2 image to vmdk. If you are migrating from a KVM, use the below additional steps to convert the Disk to vmdk and load the VM to VirtualBox. Hence i thought about documenting it here since it may help someone. Today, we had to migrate a virtialbox VM to VMware, and i had to deal with a lot of issues.
