Re: [Users] trouble with imported windows VM
I did a conversion with all disks connected on the KVM at once (which, the KVM version of
the VM works fine, all SQL services start and DBs come up fine).
When I import the VM with virt-v2v, the new VM will not boot until I remove the D drive.
Rich, copying the disk over manually sounds like a viable plan, but im not sure what
target directory to put it in. is there some specific place it should go when copying in
by hand?
Thanks,
jonathan

This is my current gotcha. If I import it with a single disk from
KVM (C drive only), its successful. If I add the 2nd disk to KVM and import it, it will
import both disks, but I get the error at the beginning of this thread. If I detach the
2nd imported disk, it boots again.
Now, I made another VM on kvm that contained only my D drive, and imported that. After
the import, I got this:
[root@d0lppc021 ~]# virt-v2v -i libvirt -ic
qemu+ssh://root@rnd8/system -o rhev -os d0lppc021.skopos.me:/opt/nfs
-of qcow2 -oa sparse -n ovirtmgmt ws08-svr-3Donly
ws08-svr-03-0_copy.raw: 100%
[=====================================================================
====================================================]D 4h09m19s
virt-v2v: No root device found in this operating system image.
The D drive contains only things like SQL db files and other related data. Am I using
virt-v2v incorrectly for this 2nd disk (in either scenario, a single VM with 2 disks, or
even on a standalone (and albeit unbootable) VM with just the D drive)?
The bad news is that virt-v2v won't work on a data disk. It has to be presented with
either just the operating system disk, or all disks at once.
The good news is that you don't need to convert data disks! virt-v2v knows nothing
about them, and would do nothing to them. Simply copy the data disk over to the export
domain using 'scp' or 'dd' or whatever.
