[one-users] Lecture about OpenNebula

[Tino Vazquez]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks a lot for elaborating on your project, it looks very
interesting. Let us know if you bump into any installation and/or
configuration issue.

Regarding the question  “How to migrate our vSphere to OpenNebula?”,
I'd like to provide some feedback. VMware support in OpenNebula is
mature, there is no problem supporting existing networking and storage
configurations of the ESX nodes, OpenNebula is able to manage them
with the same or a very similar configuration as they had before.
There are a large number of OpenNebula commercial customers that are
using OpenNebula as a replacement of vCenter and vCloud in their
infrastructures.

One question that is asked often is the matter of how to import
existing appliances. Currently there is no OVA support, but we are
working on it [1], and will be available in the short term (OpenNebua
v4.6). The idea would be to support import OVA packages (which can be
exported from existing ESX or vCenter), to offer a migration path from
vSphere to OpenNebula as smooth and seamless as possible.

Hope this helps if the question arises again.

Best regards,

-Tino
