</div>
<div>I haven't had any luck using the oVirt GUI or virt-v2v (see
earlier email), and I need to find a way to migrate quite a
few Windows hosts (Windows 7, 2012, 2008, 2k3 etc) into my
test oVirt cluster as a PoC so I can make a compelling case
for getting rid of VMware. Using OVF files looks like a lot
more manual work as compared to the GUI or virt-v2v, with
their nice conversion features.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any suggestions?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>

Are you getting errors? <br>
<br>
Here's what I have in my notes but you may already have tried it and
the GUI doesn't seem to have a way to do it. I migrated from both
ESXi6 and VMwareWorkstation 11. First I exported as ova.<br>
<br>
<b>* Make sure the export directory is mounted.<br>
* virt-v2v doesn't like being run as root so run it as vdsm user
and you need to specify the shell.<br>
<br>
su - vdsm -s /bin/bash<br>
<br>
For Export storage located on another computer remote to the one
running virt-v2v use the host:/export format<br>
<br>
virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os
ovhost1:/srv/exports/ovirt/export1 --network VLAN100 -oa sparse
-on <vm name> <input file name><br>
<br>
For Export storage located on a server that is doing exporting use
this format with local directory path for -os<br>
<br>
virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os /srv/exports/ovirt/export1
-oa sparse --network VLAN100 -on <vm name> /path/<input
file name><br>
<br>
I moved my ova files to my host (I run hosted engine deployment).
Then I su'd and ran the second command since my host exports the
oVirt Export directory.<br>
<br>
Once the command completes I run the oVirt admin import and select
the VMs from the list and move them over. I have to change the
location of the storage since it defaults to the Engine storage
and not my iSCSI storage.<br>
<br>
I've done it on mainly Linux and a Win 7 VM and it worked. I
haven't tried any servers yet.<br>
