VM migration toolkit — any hypervisor to KVM with offline guest fixes

Quick start · Kubernetes · Enterprise · Support

---

Migrate VMware, Hyper-V, OVA/OVF, and other formats to KVM/QEMU with deterministic offline fixes (bootloader, fstab, initramfs, VirtIO).

	Traditional tools	hyper2kvm
Approach	Format conversion only	Conversion + automated guest fixes
Boot success	Manual trial and error	Validated first-boot path
Platforms	Varies	VMDK, OVA, VHD/VHDX, AMI, Azure VHD, raw

Quick start

pip install "hyper2kvm[full]"
h2kvmctl --version

Config-driven migration:

h2kvmctl --config migration.yaml

Minimal local conversion:

h2kvmctl --cmd local \
  --vmdk /path/to/disk.vmdk \
  --output-dir /output \
  --to-output converted.qcow2 \
  --out-format qcow2 \
  --fstab-mode stabilize-all \
  --regen-initramfs

Kubernetes deploy after conversion:

h2kvmctl --config migration.yaml --deploy-k8s \
  --k8s-namespace production \
  --k8s-vm-name my-vm \
  --k8s-auto-start
