This article details the procedure to install VMware Tools in a guest running macOS. For more information about VMware Tools, see Overview of VMware Tools for VMware Fusion (1022048). Note: macOS guests are only supported in VMware Fusion virtual machines. I wrote a blog article about testing Yosemite and VMware Fusion where I detail out the steps you can take to install Mac OS X Yosemite betas in virtual machines in VMware Fusion and on partitions, my testing results, recommendations on high performance USB 3 flash drives, backups with Time Machine and more.

Convert VMware virtual disk to Open Virtualization Format Package.

We have found 6 software records in our database eligible for .vmdk to .ovf file format conversion.

You should be able to import VMware virtual machines to VirtualBox just fine, so there should be nothing preventing you from transforming .vmdk files (virtual disks) to OVF format, which is what vmdk to ovf conversion represents.

You can do this in VirtualBox by importing the VMware machines and then use the File ► Export Appliance option, select virtual machine and export it as an .ovf. Only whole virtual machines can be converted, not just some their parts.

The tables with software actions are a good pointer for what a certain program does with various file types and often may give users a good hint how to perform certain file conversion, for example the above-mentioned vmdk to ovf. However, it is not perfect and sometimes can show results which are not really usable because of how certain programs work with files and the possible conversion is thus actually not possible at all.
