Hi All,
Better late than never..
Thanks for all the feedback, it was really constructive. I made major changes in the wiki page to address the comments, Please take another look: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration
Thanks, Arik

Hi All,
The proposed feature will introduce a new process of import virtual machines from external systems using virt-v2v in oVirt. I've created a wiki page that contains initial thoughts and design for it: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration
You are more than welcome to share your thoughts and insights.
Thanks, Arik _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

much much better :) now we just need to do all this... few comments: - upload vm - indeed tbd, but hopefully will resolve this as well independently. - Windows VMs - v2v would need to make sure relevant iso is in the iso domain probably with the drivers expected by v2v? - proxy host - do we really need this? I assume we are going to require virt-v2v by vdsm, so all hosts will simply have all needed to do this. to rephrase - I wouldn't make this the architectural choice to require a single host with v2v, rather default to all (for both ovirt-node and plain deployment) we may still want to allow choosing which host to do the import from, for specific network toplogy use cases. I wouldn't default to that, and i think it can be phase II actually - per shahar's comment on SPM from discussion with storage group - just a btw we hope SPM to go away in 3.6. still, you should separate meta data (create volume) and data (copy) operations. - external providers - I think this one requires more thinking. if you will define these as providers, with their credentials, then all admins can import. i don't think we should require the provider to be defined, not require it to keep credentials (could be just a helper list). i.e., unlike the other providers, i think here the providers are just to auto complete fields in the import form (i can choose a provider with its user/password, i can choose a provider without user/pass and fill myself, i can just type provider and user/pass) - I'll be able to provider more feedback on mockups...
