Earlier releases
This section summarizes features from previous releases and their resolved issues. These earlier versions are superseded by the latest release, and we recommend updating to the latest version of the Conversion Manager virtual appliance as soon as it becomes available.
Conversion Manager 8.5.0
Released May 27, 2025
This release includes the following new features:
-
VM template association: When converting a VM, you can associate it with a XenServer guest template. Using a template in the conversion ensures that the converted VMs have consistent configurations and behave more reliably.
-
XenServer VM Tools configuration: As part of the conversion process, you can now configure whether the Windows drivers included in the XenServer VM Tools for Windows are automatically updated.
-
Enhanced disk image import: Disk formats like VHD, VHDX, AVHDX, and VMDK are now better supported. The Conversion Manager automatically fixes up the operating system and installs the XenServer VM Tools after import.
To use these features, ensure that your XenCenter is updated to the latest version.
Conversion Manager 8.4.0
Released Dec 5, 2024
This release includes the following new features:
-
The Conversion Manager now automatically uninstalls VMware Tools from your VMs and provides the option to install XenServer VM Tools. While VMs can run without XenServer VM Tools, performance might be limited. XenServer VM Tools are installed automatically on Linux VMs, and for Windows VMs, you can configure the Conversion Manager to install them automatically.
Note:
(Citrix Hypervisor 8.2 CU1 only) Automatic installation of XenServer VM Tools is not supported for Windows 10 (32-bit) Enterprise edition. Install XenServer VM Tools for Windows manually. For more information, see XenServer VM Tools for Windows.
-
Support for Windows 11 VMs for conversion.
Note:
Only UEFI Boot mode or UEFI Secure Boot mode are supported.
-
You can now convert Windows VMs that have an attached vTPM. The Conversion Manager automatically removes the existing vTPM and creates a XenServer vTPM for the VM.
This release contains fixes for the following issues:
- Windows VMs converted from VMware to XenServer using the Conversion Manager are incorrectly detected as Linux VMs.
Conversion Manager 8.3.1
Released Feb 01, 2024
This release includes the following improvements:
-
You can now batch convert multiple VMware ESXi/vCenter VMs in parallel at the same time.
Simply select the VMs you want to convert and the Conversion Manager performs the conversions in batches of 10 VMs at a time, automatically selecting the next set of 10 VMs in the queue once the job is complete.
