We have an existing setup consisting of virt-manager/libvirt/KVM
hypervisors that we're planning to migrate to Ovirt. Given that all
of our guests are existing KVM/virtio images, it does not make sense
for us to virt-v2v them over because of the ensuing
registry/kernel/etc. changes that may be unnecessarily applied.<br>
<br>
One solution to this is the import-to-ovirt.pl script created by
Redhat's maintainer of virt-v2v. <a

Running this script on a host against a disk image will import the
image to exported storage and mate it to a basic configuration so it
can be imported easily afterward, or at least it should.<br>
<br>
Our current test set up consists of hosted engine Ovirt 3.5.4 on
Centos 7.1. When attempting to import an image using this script on
the host we get the following errors:<br>
<br>
<code>libvirt needs authentication to connect to libvirt URI
qemu:///system<br>
</code><code>libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed:
authentication failed<br>
</code><code>could not connect to libvirt (URI = qemu:///system):
authentication failed: authentication failed at
./import-to-ovirt.pl line 230.<br>
</code><br>
I understand that diagnosing this script is well outside of the
context of this mailing list, but this is clearly just an
authentication problem. We've tried the root, ovirt and the
admin@internal credentials and none of them work. Is there a
default login/password to access libvirt on an Ovirt host? <br>
<br>
Our system works as it should otherwise. <br>
<br>
Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed light here.<br>
