Performing V2P (virtual to physical) migrations
Details
Converter currently supports migrating a physical machine to a virtual machine (P2V). However there does not seem to be a procedure for performing the migration in the other direction (V2P). Is this supported?
Solution
Neither Converter, nor any other VMware product, currently supports going from a virtual machine to a physical machine.
Note: The technical note and sample configurations for performing a virtual to physical conversion are provided for information only .
