This guide shows how to export or convert VMware Workstation virtual machine to an ESXi server using the vCenter converter. Sometimes you need to move/migrate a pre-configured server OS virtual machine to VMware vSphere (ESXi) to save time by avoiding installation and configurations. We can use any virtual machine with configuration file VMX and disk files here. I have a working ESXi server and Windows 2003 enterprise OS (already configured as Domain controller) as a virtual machine in the VMware workstation. Though this setup was done in 2010, it is applicable in recent times also. Here is the working OS. Steps…
The built-in Windows OS backup utility is a reliable tool without installing any third-party applications. It can backup the entire computer or selected items.

Attaching a SATA storage controller in VirtualBox is straightforward. Sometimes, you need to attach SATA hard disks to specific virtual machines rather than the default IDE disks. This post explains how to add SATA hard disk (virtual disk) to virtual machines in the VirtualBox console and CLI (Command Line Interface). This method applies to any host, such as Windows, Linux, and Mac. VirtualBox supports Intel AHCI-type SATA controllers. By default, virtual machines will be created with IDE controllers only. Before powering virtual machines, you can change this controller in the console view or CLI. To Add SATA Controllers in VirtualBox…
