Hi everyone,
I am new to ovirt and can't find any documentation about how to import an existing VM into ovirt. I have a qcow2 image that I know runs under a KVM hypervisor. Ideally there would be a way for me to import it as a template because I plan to create other virtual machines based off this VM.
I tried virt-v2v, but it will only work if I have a datacenter setup with NFS. In my case, I have a datacenter setup for local storage hosts.
Thanks, Andrey
You should create export domain (nfs but still locally on same machine) and import existing image to this domain. After succesfull import you can restore machine to your local images domain and start VM. -- Michal
