We are trying to extract a Multi Domain Management Gaia OS to be converted in VMWARE.

Check out sk111841 if you want to do 80.10.

Grab the ISO from there.

Create a new virtual machine and have it boot from the ISO and follow the prompts to install it.

I mean, we already have an OS installed in a SeaMicro as VSX management, we need to convert it to a ova or vm itself.

vtlikinio,

- do a backup of your existing MDS

- install fresh MDS as virtual machine in VMware with same name and IP

- install same Hotfixes as on the original

- copy the backup to the new machine

- restore the backup

Ready to start.

Is there no way to get the existing MDS to be converted to VM instead of fresh install?

The canonical way to do this is do a migrate export of your existing MDS and migrate import it into a freshly installed VM.
While you’re at it, you should upgrade to R80.20 or R80.30, which will leverage a newer Linux kernel and newer filesystem.
You will only get the new filesystem through a fresh install.
