Migrating Oracle VM 3.0.3 to VMware vSphere 5.0
I am testing migrations of some Oracle VM 3.0.3 VMs created from templates to VMware vSphere 5.0.
Has anyone at EMC done this before? How did you migrate these? I know that you can use the VMware vConverter but what changes do you make to the Oracle VM Xen based hypervisor to ensure this works?

It seems no official documents for Migrating from Oracle VM to VMware vSphere, but the below posts from VMware community should be helpful:

OVM is not a kind of open platform. It has its VM manager to do P2V / V2V and clone/backup jobs, but it does not provide users ability to export /covert its VM to other format and open format, OVF, which is able to be exported with vSphere.
Therefore this way is closed, since OVF can’t be the bridge.
OVM 3 is based on Xen 4, and Citrix Xencovert has ability to covert Xen VA (up to Version 6) to OVF. It might be approach to your migration.
I will do more, to see anything else could be brought to you.
