Do you know of the best way to get a vmware guest into ovirt without virt= -v2v by chance?
________________________________ No. I had a gluster + sanlock problem take out my ovirt cluster (2 hosts),= and I only have it partially back up. My dozen VMs are currently availabl= e only when my (dual boot) hardware isn't running oVirt. Or, to put it the= other way, I can only run oVirt when I can take down the VMWare group, bec= ause I don't have spare hardware. Working on rebuilding one VM in KVM toda= y (VMWare copy had a problem). The only way I have heard succeed is to use ESX/ESXi or the "hollow pig" me= thod. Create a VM in ovirt, including the hard drive. Replace hard drive = file with file from VMWare (or otherwise get data into file). Fiddle with = VM hardware & settings until it runs.
