Storage Migration -- vSAN to Azure Storage¶

# Export VMDK from VMware
# Use VMware OVF Tool or vCenter export

# Convert VMDK to VHD using qemu-img
qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O vpc source-disk.vmdk target-disk.vhd

# Fix VHD alignment (Azure requires 1 MB alignment)
qemu-img resize target-disk.vhd +1M

# Upload VHD to Azure
