Re: [ovirt-users] Problems With VMWare Import
Actually, I guess I can't: p2v doesn't work either (it hangs because
when it ssh's to the oVirt host and tries to run virsh there is a
password prompt which it apparently can't deal with.)
Has anyone successfully imported a VM from a recent version of VMWare
(ie 5.5 or later) into oVirt? Is there any documentation on how to do
so? I suppose I could just use something like CloneZilla to do it, but
that seems like a bit of a pain, especially since we have about 50 VMs
to move...

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.
