Booting the management node from a qcow2 or OVA and just setting an IP is a clean way to start evaluating this. Calling out VMware migration right next to setup also makes the intended handoff path clearer than the architecture page does.

Has anyone migrated from vSphere recently? How was the VMDK/OVF support, and did networking or storage cause any issues?

Has anyone tried the OVA in nested virt for single-node lab? Wondering what the minimum RAM requirement looks like.

I'm getting interested in trying ZSvirt for a lab using a single node. Are the minimum specs practical enough to run several VMs at once, or would it be better to use higher specs?

How does ZSvirt handle basic networking like VLANs and NAT? Is it easy to set up and manage compared with Proxmox?

This platform looks lightweight, but how does ZSVirt's multi-tenant management and API support compare to Proxmox's existing ecosystem?
