Hi,
I have two of centos KVM servers and there are a lot of VMs.
I would like switch to ovirt.
I know, I need to make an import domain where I need to store the VM-s
before importing to an ovirt domain. I need to make an import domain
in any case?
My problem is the long convertation process and the necessary
hardware. I don't have long time window for convertation, and I don't
have a lot of free space for import domain server.
So, can I convert vms _directly_ to ovirt?
Is there any good solution?
One way is to generate a VM in oVirt with the right
disk size and then
shut it down, shutdown your source VM on kvm and then dd the image over.
Try it with a small VM. It should work.
I have had good success with fsarchiver. Boot from systemrescue CD and
backup using fsarchiver and restore on oVirt.
