Hi,

I haven't had any luck using the oVirt GUI or virt-v2v (see earlier email), and I need to find a way to migrate quite a few Windows hosts (Windows 7, 2012, 2008, 2k3 etc) into my test oVirt cluster as a PoC so I can make a compelling case for getting rid of VMware. Using OVF files looks like a lot more manual work as compared to the GUI or virt-v2v, with their nice conversion features.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Cam

Are you getting errors?

Here's what I have in my notes but you may already have tried it and the GUI doesn't seem to have a way to do it.=C2=A0 I migrated from both ESXi6 and VMwareWorkstation 11.=C2=A0 First I exported as ova.

*=C2=A0 Make sure the export directory is mounted.
*=C2=A0 virt-v2v doesn't like being run as root so run it as vdsm user and you need to specify the shell.

=C2=A0 su - vdsm -s /bin/bash

For Export storage located on another computer remote to the one running virt-v2v use the host:/export format

=C2=A0 virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os ovhost1:/srv/exports/ovirt/export1 --network VLAN100 -oa sparse -on <vm name> <input file name>

For Export storage located on a server that is doing exporting use this format with local directory path for -os

=C2=A0 virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os /srv/exports/ovirt/export1 -oa sparse --network VLAN100 -on <vm name>=C2=A0 /path/<input file name>

I moved my ova files to my host (I run hosted engine deployment).=C2= =A0 Then I su'd and ran the second command since my host exports the oVirt Export directory.

Once the command completes I run the oVirt admin import and select the VMs from the list and move them over.=C2=A0 I have to change the location of the storage since it defaults to the Engine storage and not my iSCSI storage.

I've done it on mainly Linux and a Win 7 VM and it worked.=C2=A0 I haven't tried any servers yet.
