Performing V2P (virtual to physical) migrations

Products

• Converter

Issue/Introduction

Converter currently supports migrating a physical machine to a virtual machine (P2V). However there does not seem to be a procedure for performing the migration in the other direction (V2P). Is this supported?

 

Environment

VMware Converter (all versions)

Resolution

Neither Converter, nor any other VMware product, currently supports going from a virtual machine to a physical machine.  This type of migration (V2P) must be facilitated outside of the vSphere software suite.
