Subject: [Users] How to resize physical disk size with virt-p2v
Hi,
we’re currently using oVirt engine3.0 and have about 50 VMs successfully running ( thanks for your great work!!)
At the moment we do migrate ESX/KVM VMs and baremetal servers to oVirt.
For p2v migration we’re using virt-p2v 0.87 (iso created from rpm virt-p2v-image-builder)
Migration is working fine, but the vdisk size is accordingly to original physical hdd size.
For example:
Server with 500 GB HDD size, partitions (swap,/,boot) shrinked to ~50 GB.
(df –h will show only 50 GB for / )
First I thought, shrinking partitions of the server will help out,
But unfortunately, the tool is using the whole hard disk space to convert (using dd ?)
…and so we have a successfully migrated VM in oVirt with 500GB vHDD size.
Is there any way or alternative software we can use for P2V migration?
Thanks in advance,
Sven.

Hi, Maybe you can try using clonezilla to only export the partitions of your physical machine. Unless they take the full disk of course. Vincent
