[ovirt-users] Re: Importing a Virtual Machine from a KVM Host

Hello Dirk, The link you are using is old developer docs, try the following. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-External_Providers.html You need to setup an external provider and use a proxy host in the datacentre (not the engine host) you want to import into, this needs to be on the same network as your KVM host and have the virt-v2v package installed.

At home, and at work i am using a ovirt engine in a VM. The Version is 4.3.7 and on bare metal my host. Everything works fine but i have the same problem at home and on work. I want to import my qcow2 Images from a KVM Host but i will not work. The command virsh -r -c 'qemu+tcp://root@host1.example.org/system' list --all shows me akk my VMs. But when i want to load the images in the GUI, nothing happens. I follow this instruction: https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovi... After that, i take a look on the official 4.3 Rhev Documentation from Red Hat. There stand this: Log in to the proxy host and generate SSH keys for the vdsm user. sudo -u vdsm ssh-keygen So, i have no proxy host. So i want to do this on my ovirt-engine. Is this right? Next thing: the user vdsm is locked on the ovirt-engine machine and the host. So, do i have to unlocked the account of the user vdsm or what is the best way. My Problem is i found nothing that would help me to solve this problem. Maybe somebody here do me a favour and help me to solve this "challenge" Regards Dirk _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovi... oVirt Code of Conduct: https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovi...
