Search a little bit on google how to convert a proxmox kvm vm to OVA format which you should be able to import to ESXi.
You have a few tools available to achieve this but nothing out of the box on proxmox.
Try
https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-v2v-converter
Or VMware converter https://my.vmware.com/en/web/vmware/info/slug/infrastructure_operations_management/vmware_vcenter_converter_standalone/6_2_0
Can you provide us with the reasons you go with EXSI? I am a proxmox user and would like to see any benefits in doing so while you have to pay for it.
Thx.
Less downtime.
I am curious, too
You are lucky then. I have been using ESXi for about 6 years and never seen so many OS-crashes in my whole previous life. I actually developed pretty serious allergy to purple-color! Compared to ESXi, Proxmox (or generally linux) is rock-solid...
I’ve been using ESX since version 3.X something and hade two purple screen of death.
First one was when the SAN crashed and the second one was because of a faulty driver from DELL, that server was not in production yet.
Using the converter you clone the machine live, you can do that as many times you wish.
Then you turn off the machine and transfer only the changed blocks.
Then boot at new location.
That requires that you already setup the network and all other settings first ofcourse.
