Is there a recommended way to import a VM from Vmware into oVirt with Cinder back end?
I have successfully created an image in the oVirt Import domain using virt-v2v. The image can be imported into NFS storage and works fine.
I can create new VMs with disks in the Cinder storage.
There does not seem to be any way of either:
a) Import directly into the cinder storage (regardless if the import has raw or qcow disks
virt-v2v may support this, as it is using qemu-img under the hood, but I guess we miss the integration, passing the needed info from engine and accepting it in virt-v2v. (Adding Shahar)
b) Move a disk from NFS storage into cinder
Correct, this is not supported yet with cinder/ceph disks. Maybe you can do this manually: - Import vm using v2v to nfs - Create cinder/ceph volume in the correct size - Copy the imported disk using "qemu-img convert" to the ceph volume ceph disks are used as "rbd:poolname/volumename" you also have to specify cephx auth, or copy ceph keyring to /etc/ceph/ - Detach the imported disk from the vm - Attach the cinder/ceph disk to the vm This work is planned for next version.
