You can export a virtual machine to Workstation 4, provided it is a uniprocessor virtual machine; multiprocessor (SMP) virtual machines cannot be exported to Workstation 4. If the virtual disks are in undoable mode, you must commit the changes in the redo log before exporting the virtual machine in order for your changes to carry over.

However, Workstation 4 does not support the LSILogic SCSI adapter. To use the SCSI adapter in the virtual machine, you must switch back to the BusLogic adapter.

ESX Server 2.1 does not support exporting virtual machines to ESX Server 1.5 or earlier, VMware Workstation 3.2 earlier or VMware GSX Server 2.5 or earlier.

You should uninstall VMware Tools from a virtual machine before exporting it for use in Workstation or GSX Server.

Use the vmktools command in the Service Console to export virtual disks associated with a virtual machine. For details, see the section on using the -exportfile option of vmkfstools in Basic vmkfstools Options. You can find an example of how to use the -exportfile option in Examples Using vmkfstools.
