       -f FILE, --file=FILE
              vmware vmx file to convert

USAGE

       To  start  using a pre-existing vmware image with libvirt, you simply copy the vmware .vmx
       file and .vmdk file to a new directory. Then do:

         vmware2libvirt -f ./file.vmx > file.xml
         virsh -c qemu:///system define file.xml

       At this point, your vmware image should be available to libvirt.

CAVEATS

       vmware2libvirt currently will use the first scsi disk if found, otherwise  the  first  ide
       disk. It will also use the first ethernet interface found.
