Trying to import VMDK and VMX files into Oracle VM

885866Aug 15 2012 — edited Aug 24 2012

I was given a copy of a VM built in VMWare with the files in VMDK and VMX formats. I've tried various methods of importing these into OVM x86 with no luck.

According to this 2009 blog post from Oracle it should be possible (at least with that older release):

https://blogs.oracle.com/virtualization/entry/converting_linux_and_windows_p

"Oracle VM Manager allows you to import virtual machines in the VMDK format. When you import VMware virtual machines, Oracle VM Manager converts them to Oracle VM virtual machines automatically."

I'm runninng OVM server/manager 3.1.1. Is this no longer possible with the new version?
