Migrate Vagrant-VM (VMware) to vCenter

We have created 5 VMs via Vagrant. Now we want to migrate them from the local VMware instance to our vCenter. If we go the normal way, i.e. use the VMware migration function, the VMs cannot start in the vCenter because:

  • The partition with the Windows installation contains corrupt NTFS headers, which cannot be read by the Windows boot loader.
  • The .vmdk can be opened with other tools, but the boot loader cannot get behind it.

I can imagine that we have to execute something via Vagrant command before, but what?

Thanks for your feedback and best regards
