#!/bin/bash
# To-do:
#      - Add ability to choose between local-lvm and local-zfs
#      - Find way to carry over MAC
#      - Attempt to find way to fix networking post-migration automatically
#      - Get script to pull specs of ESXi VM and use them when creating Proxmox VM
#      - Add functionality to remove old .ova files from local machine

### PREREQUISITES ###
# - Install ovftool on the Proxmox host
# - Ensure you have key-based authentication configured for any remote connections needed
# - Hardcode the variables for your ESXi IP, user, etc.

# This script is intended to be run on your Proxmox host
