Problems With VMWare Import
by Charles Tassell
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.
