Re: [ovirt-users] Convert vmware vm

II created this document for the company where I work. Maybe it is userfull for you too: Migrate from VMWare to oVirt 1. On VmWare: a. Export the VM to ovf format. There is a smb/nfs share on virt-v2v you can use as storage. i. NFS: Virtv2v.:/media/Storage ii. SMB: virtv2v.  share: virtv2v 2. with virtv2v a. Log in on the virt-v2v vm. b. Locate and Extract the ovf file with tar –xvf c. Convert the extracted vmdk file to raw disk format with the following command: vboxmanage clonehd --format RAW <VMNAME>.vmdk <NewVMName>.raw d. Convert the created RAW file to a qemu2 img: qemu-img convert -f raw <VM-Name>.raw -O qcow2 <VMName>.qcow2 e. Run the vm in virsh: virt-install --connect qemu:///system --ram 1024 -n griffu -r 2048 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --disk path=/media/Storage/<VMName>.qcow2,device=disk,format=qcow2 --vcpus=2 --vnc --noautoconsole –import f. Take a xml dump of the VM and copy the result in a new file <VMName>.xml virsh dumpxml <VMName> g. Now let’s move the vm to ovirt. Make sure the nfs is attached to the TestDev Datacenter. virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -ic qemu+ssh://<FQDN-Hypervisor> /system -o rhev -os <FQDN-NFS-exportdomainserver>:/media/NfsProgress -n ovirtmgmt <VMName>.xml 2014-06-24 15:19 GMT+02:00 Massimo Mad <mad1969it(a)gmail.com&gt;:
