Hi,
today I tested vmware ova import for first time but unfortunately it
failed. (btw. it would be great to have a possibility to upload ova
directly from manager…)
in 4.1 you can only upload qcow disks, in future we will support complete OVA (native
oVirt’s OVA’s though)
problem seems to be this (vdsm/import log)
...
libguestfs: trace: v2v: inspect_get_type = "linux"
i_root = /dev/sda1
i_type =
linux
i_distro = debian
i_arch = i386
i_major_version = 9
i_minor_version = 0
i_package_format = deb
i_package_management = apt
i_product_name = 9.0
i_product_variant = unknown
i_uefi =
false
...
...
...
[ 13.7] Converting 9.0 to run on KVM
virt-v2v: error: virt-v2v is unable to
convert this guest type
(linux/debian)
rm -rf '/var/tmp/ova.lB3mEN'
rm -rf
'/var/tmp/null.kaX2uZ'
...
so is debian really unsupported to be imported fom vmware ova?
it is supported only in libguestfs 1.36+ which is released in EL 7.4
I believe this vm could run as is, even without v2v convert.
It would be nice to have a possibility to bypass v2v process and import
appliance as is, just disk(s) and vm definition. Does it make sense?
the disk needs conversion, as well as changes to be able to boot (that’s the part
originally missing for debina-based guests)
Thanks,
michal
