vmware to qemu convert

So we were developing drivers for solaris 10 at our company. Since we didnt have nough sparc machines, most of the dev happened on our vmware x86 solaris boxes. My co-worker (from whom I have learnt more aobut linux in the last 8 months than I learnt in the last few years on my own) showed me the way to convert the VMware image to qemu image. Without further ado, here is the command

qemu-img convert /mnt/1/Solaris10.x86.64/Sol_x86_64.vmdk -O qcow solaris-10-64bit.img
