Hello Markus, Thanks for coming back so quickly. I will read the document shortly. In the mean time my kvm hypervisor is already running and it's attached to iscsi storage. Do I need to convert all machines ? or I can simply mange all the stuff through ovirt-engine like I am managing with virt-manager for now.

Hello,
welcome to the list. ovirt uses a central management server (ovirt-engine) that manages the machine definition in a database. It controls VMs on several hypervisor hosts with this information. To get a VM into the database you have to import it. virt-v2v helps me for VMWare sources and it should do the trick for you. Find more info in chapter A.1.2.4 of this page:

Your hypervisor must be CentOS 6 or Fedora 18/19 in order to be able to manage it with oVirt (other Linux distributions are still a wip). As oVirt has a totally different concept as virt-manager you have to import your machines into oVirt. As Markus already wrote this can be done using virt-v2v. Regards, René

Hi Rene, Thanks for your reply. My hypervisor is kvm which is already running on Centos6. Now I understand the fact that I can't simply connect kvm with ovrit-engine rather I will need to import machines from kvm to ovirt-engine but my hypervisor will still be kvm ? Am I right ? On a different node what is the role of vdsm ? Thanks Shantanu On Thu, Sep 19, 2013 at 8:25 PM, René Koch (ovido) <r.koch@ovido.at> wrote:

yes. you could try to add the host to ovirt-engine, then create a VM, then dd the guest into the managed disk by ovirt-engine. if you use a LUN per disk, you can also use the direct lun disk with ovirt-engine without porting/converting the data.
On a different node what is the role of vdsm ?
its the agent on the hypervisor the engine uses to communicate with.
Thanks Shantanu
