Sure But, The *qemu-img convert* command can do conversion between multiple formats, including qcow2, QED, raw, VDI (VirtualBox), VHD (Hyper-V), and VMDK (VMware). Table 7.1. qemu-img format strings Image format Argument to qemu-img qcow2 (KVM, Xen) qcow2 QED (KVM) qed raw raw VDI (VirtualBox) vdi VHD (Hyper-V) vpc VMDK (VMware) vmdk
This example will convert a VMDK image file to a qcow2 image file: $ qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 centos7.vmdk centos7.qcow2 You just need to change to XenServer format, right ?
