That only works if it's a GNU/Linux installation running Xen, not with Xenserver. From what I've seen, the reason for this is that Xenserver doesn't include libvirt, so v2v can't connect to it.

Hello all.
I work in a company that want test KVM/oVirt.
The problem is the current environment running Xenserver 6.2 and is mandatory that we can migrate from the Xenserver to KVM.
Research about it I saw that is not supported.
I this true?
You can use a v2v tool to migrate VMs from Xen to KVM, I believe.
Should not be a problem. That only works if it's a GNU/Linux installation running Xen, not with Xenserver. From what I've seen, the reason for this is that Xenserver doesn't include libvirt, so v2v can't connect to it.
Best regards.

Probably the main problem is with PV VMs and so the problem could be re-read in how convert them to HVM and then apply P2V iso. This link below is the reverse (HVM-2-PV) but the method idea in your case could fit what described: https://netnow.co/xen-virtual-machine-conversion-from-hvm-to-pv/ Inside the article there is in fact a link to do the reverse: http://djlab.com/2010/10/convert-xenserver-hvm-to-pv-paravirtual/ that you can use, if still feasible (XenServer 4.x described vs your XenServer 6.x) to migrate to HVM layout and boot method. Then you can migrate the obtained VM with P2V iso provided by RHEV/oVirt It seems it worked for someone (late 2013), as described in latest post here: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/451463 (comments visible also for not registered users) Gianluca
