Re: [ovirt-users] Problems With VMWare Import
Ah, that's a bit of a bummer but I guess I can use the p2v conversion
for those instances. I tried to convert another VM (this one without a
snapshot) and got the error "virt-v2v is unable to convert this guest
type" I'm guessing that the problem is that our VMWare VM's are an the
v10 format, as I know a lot of tools have issue dealing with the newer
format.

There is known issue for importing VMware VM with snapshot:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1172425 - [RFE]virt-v2v failed to convert
VMware ESX VM with snapshot

| Hi Everyone,
|
| This doesn't seem to be a bug in oVirt so much as in the
| libvirt/virt-v2v tool it uses for importing, but I figured someone here
| might have run into this issue before. I'm trying to import some VMs
| from my VMWare cluster and it's failing with a "file not found" when
| trying to download the disk images. I have files in the datastore like:
|
| systest-55-000001-delta.vmdk 4G
| systest-55-000001.vmdk 1K
| systest-55-Snapshot1.vmsn 4G
| systest-55-flat.vmdk 40G
| systest-55.vmdk 1K
| ... bunch more small .vm?? files
|
| For some reason virt-v2v is trying to download a file called
| systest-55-000001-flat.vmdk which doesn't exist. I'm assuming this has
| something to do with the snapshots stored in the folder... Does anyone
| know a way to deal with that? Can I just delete the snapshots or is
| that going to delete data stored on the VM since the last snapshot? I'm
| using virt-v2v 1.28.1 if that makes a difference.
