      It's been a minute since I migrated anything from ESXi to XCP-ng, but I'm going to be doing this in a production setup again fairly soon.

      This one has been rather challenging since the VM in ESXi is 16TB, but we only need to migrate the C drive which is 100GB.

      Is the best route to do this just to export the VMDK and import that into XCP-ng? Wasn't sure if the newer migration tools had options to select which disks to import and things like that.

          @Pilow Yeah this is also an option, and then just export it and copy it over to XCP-ng. I was just wondering if there was a more proper way to go about this that Vates recommended.
