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
Am I right that this still involves a full operational e.g. esxi host to import vmware vms?
There is a huge user demand on a simpler process for just converting and importing an vmware disk image. This feature will not solve this use case, will it?
I agree it should. need to check if virt-v2v can cover this. if not, need to fix it so it will...
From live ESX, yes.
Offline VMware images (OVAs), not yet. However patches are welcome. We quite literally have no one available to implement this.
Just catching up on this .. virt-v2v now supports OVA imports, and it works pretty well. Please make sure you use the new version, available here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html or in Fedora >= 21 or Debian experimental.
