Performance was quite good (at least at Parallels speed) but i guessed, there was room for more so i look for VMWare.

#PARALLELS TO VIRTUALBOX MIGRATION INSTALL#

The most simple way to install is through OpenVPN Gui for Windows.Īfter install add a new TAP device through the startmenu entry and then, the clou: There are some howtos which recommend enable bridged networking through the Internet Connection Sharing facilities of windows but it's much simpler than that: Under network connections, select your default LAN Connection, the tap device, right click and choose bridge networks.Īfter that, change the network mode in your QEMU vm from user networking to tap networking and you're ready to go.

#PARALLELS TO VIRTUALBOX MIGRATION DRIVER#

First you need the TAP-Win32 driver which is brought to you by the great OpenVPN project. Somewhat complicated is bridged networking with QEMU. I could look up the mac address in the Parallels configuration file, add this number in the QEMU config and voila, everything was up and running. Solutions: The ethxxx devices are bound to the hardware (mac) address. The only problem i had that Debian wouldn't find my eth0 device although the Realtek 8139too module was loaded. Installation is dead simple and to my surprise, it was enough to convert my Parallels extending image with the Parallels Image Tool to a plain disk which i could use without further changes with QEMU.ĭebian is very stable against the few 'hardware' changes. I recommend the QEMU Manager for Windows Users, as this thingy already contains the kqemu virtualization extension. I already knew about QEMU which in contrast to Parallels and VMWare is a processor emulator and not a virtualization tool and therefore must be slower.

In addition: I didn't want to spend another 50$ for Parallels (i already bought versions 2 and 3 for Mac, should be enough), so i thought about alternatives on my PC running Windows XP as host. My mac is a 2Ghz Core2Duo Mac Book with 3GB Ram, my Pc is a 2.66 Core2Duo Dell with 2GB Ram and Parallels Workstation was way slower on the PC than unter OS X. Equipt with a DVD and my image file from Parallels Desktop, i fired up the PC Version and after fiddling around with some pathes i can confirm that the Parallels Desktop 3.x vms are compatible with Parallels Workstation 2.x vms, at least a vm with a Debian OS inside.īut to me, performance was poor. So i downloaded a copy of Parallels Workstation to install it on my PC at work. Recently Dell had some very convenient offers on their PowerEdge machines and i could barely resist to buy one, but finally, i managed to: cut the crap, i don't want to have even more boxes standing around at home.īut i was thinking again: Whats better than one backup? Redundant backups 🙂

Try to ensure that you give the virtual machine the same settings (such as RAM size) as you did in Parallels. Then click 'New' to create a new virtual machine, and select the correct operating system from the list. Add the disk file that you created, and click OK. Open VirtualBox, choose 'File' and then 'Virtual Disk Manager'.

#PARALLELS TO VIRTUALBOX MIGRATION MAC OS X#

Converting Parallels (VM) to (VirtualBox) Mac OS X For some curious that one day they might encounter this situation as I do, follow the procedure for converting a virtual machine that operates in Parallels to VirtualBox, a simple and practical way. Press 'Shift + right-click,' and then select the 'Open Command Prompt here' option. Once you are there, open the 'OVFTool' folder. To do that open the VMware folder located inside the 'Programs Files' folder in the C drive. To migrate from VMware to VirtualBox, you first need to export the VM in an.ovf file.
