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.
