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)
good news :-)
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
nice, I can't wait for CentOS7.4 release
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7.4.1708/ yay!:) still missing qemu-kvm-ev, so do not upgrade yet. But very soon...
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)
It depends. In this case I converted vmdk disk to raw, created vm in oVirt, dded raw image to this vm and I had to change just ethernet interface name. It was ugly workaround but it is working. So for this case it would be nice to have a possibility to bypass v2v :-) but ok, this is very specific case.
Sure, you can always just do the same steps manually. virt-v2v just tries to wrap that into a single step process. But it just connects the dots and uses other tools to do that, it’s definitely doable manually
