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@gmail.com>:
I just did that at: http://www.ovirt.org/Vm_migration_from_vmware feel free to make this pretty, it's more or less just a raw dump of the mail. Am 27.06.2014 13:40, schrieb Sandro Bonazzola:

actually it is. http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration one of my comments to the feature page was it should include a file based conversion, not just from esxi. http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-July/025876.html

By the way, how are you going to copy the VM between the two system? As far as I know scp doesn't handle really well with sparse files (and thin provisioned VMs are sparse files) ending up copying the fully expanded disk image wasting a lot of time just transferring zeroes. Some third party utilities, like virtsync for the KVM world (http://www.virtsync.com/) or Veam FastSCP (http://www.veeam.com/vmware-esxi-fastscp.html) for the VMWare world, already implement some smarter copy approach (also a tar with -S option over an ssh pipe is indeed enough) to make it more efficient and they are quite appreciated. Are we designing something similar? thanks, Simone
