# Artifacts

Some external files are required for migrations to take place.

* All VMware VMs require the VMware VIX disklib (VDDK) tarball to be imported into Migration Manager

* Windows VMs require the [virtio-win drivers](https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/blob/master/README.md) to be imported into Migration Manager
