Re: [Users] Making v2v easier?

I haven’t tried this yet, but if I had to move a VM from ESXi to oVirt this is how I would do it… (actually, this is how I did it with Windows 7 guests…)

Shutdown guest on ESXi (or use GhettoVCB to make a snapshot backup if you don’t want an outtage) NFS copy guest from ESXi server to temp storage somewhere qemu-img convert guest.vmdk -O raw guest.raw Create an oVirt guest with the appropriate OS type Add a disk of the same GB to the guest After oVirt finishes creating the disk, copy the guest.raw file over the disk image oVirt made boot guest and install qemu-agent, ovirt-agent, spice-agent (or better yet, do this before you shutdown on ESXi) remove VMware tools.

The importing and virt2v procedure seems far to complex and error prone to me.
