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?
Thanks in advance.
Tibor

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.

Just in case: you want to be sure to have virtio support inside your vms
before doing this. Any modern linux kernel has it, but for windows you'd
have to install them by hand or use virt-v2v.
