Citrix XenConvert 2.0.1 Released

The latest version of XenConvert has been released, and stands at version 2.0.1

Citrix XenConvert converts a server or desktop workload from either a physical machine or from another type of virtual machine, to a XenServer virtual machine. Options available are:

  • Converting to a XenServer VM produces an intermediate XVA containing a bootable XenServer VM and automatically imports it into a XenServer.
  • Converting to an XVA produces an offline package of a bootable XenServer VM that is ready to be manually imported into a XenServer.
  • Converting to a VHD produces a VHD compatible with Provisioning Server 5.x, if the target device software included with Provisioning Server 5.x was installed beforehand.
  • Converting to a OVF package produces an offline package of a bootable XenServer VM ready to manually import into a XenServer. The OVF package can contain vDisks in either VHD or VMDK format.
