Hi Rene, Thanks for your reply. My hypervisor is kvm which is already running on Centos6. Now I understand the fact that I can't simply connect kvm with ovrit-engine rather I will need to import machines from kvm to ovirt-engine but my hypervisor will still be kvm ? Am I right ? On a different node what is the role of vdsm ? Thanks Shantanu On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 8:25 PM, René Koch (ovido) <r.koch@ovido.at> wrote:

Hello Markus,
Thanks for coming back so quickly. I will read the document shortly. In the mean time my kvm hypervisor is already running and it's attached to iscsi storage.
Do I need to convert all machines ? or I can simply mange all the stuff through ovirt-engine like I am managing with virt-manager for now.
Your hypervisor must be CentOS 6 or Fedora 18/19 in order to be able to manage it with oVirt (other Linux distributions are still a wip).
As oVirt has a totally different concept as virt-manager you have to import your machines into oVirt. As Markus already wrote this can be done using virt-v2v.
Regards, René

Hello,
welcome to the list. ovirt uses a central management server (ovirt-engine) that manages the machine definition in a database. It controls VMs on several hypervisor hosts with this information. To get a VM into the database you have to import it. virt-v2v helps me for VMWare sources and it should do the trick for you. Find more info in chapter A.1.2.4 of this page:
