Migrate Dozuki Cloud to Dozuki On-Premise hosted in VMware Hypervisor

Choose your preferred Datastore

Once the Datastore has been selected, you can then click the Datastore browser

Once the browser dialogue opens, select Upload

Locate both the dozuki.vmdk (the Application volume) and the data.vmdk (the content volume) images provided by Dozuki

Once selected, click the Open button to begin the upload process

Once upload is complete, SSH into your VMware host server

Once logged in, navigate to the datastore where you uploaded the .vmdk files (ie: /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/... ) in the previous step.

Use the following command syntax to convert the uploaded .vmdk files:

vmkfstools -i [image to be converted] [new image name for converted file] -d thin

Example usage: vmkfstools -i dozuki.vmdk dozukiConverted.vmdk -d thin

Once the conversion process has finished for both the App volume and the Data volume, proceed to the next step.
