1 Introduction

This guide addresses the issue of creating a virtual machine but not creating it by selecting adesk Apps, resulting in its being unable to be converted to a template on the VDC. Or in other scenarios where you are migrating from another platform to an HCI platform and want to use it as a VDI template.

2 Configuration Steps

1. Download VDI (aDesk) aDesk Tools to your local PC on the Sangfor Community.

2. Run aDesk_Tools.exe as administrator and use the VM Conversion Tool.

3. Fill in the Project and Login information. In Login Information, fill in the cluster IP of HCI and the admin account password, and keep the SSH port 22 as default.

4. When Log in to HCI, find the HCI type VM that needs to be converted. Please select it and click Next.

5. In Step 3, click Next.

6. After confirming that the virtual machine information is correct, click Start Conversion.

7. Confirm that the virtual machine conversion was successful.

8. Log in to the VDC console, navigate to Assets > VM Templates, and click New > Import VM Template.

9. The process of converting HCI VM to VDI VM templates is completed by importing the VM templates converted by the previous tool into the VDC’s VM Templates.
