Importing VMs from kvm to oVirt. "VM zarafa is down with error. Exit message: Failed to find the libvirt domain."

Hello I'm trying to import an existing kvm VM into oVirt 4.1. It a new server with a fresh installation of oVirt. I'm working with the oVirt gui to achieve this. After moving the VM from the old system into the export folder, the gui allows me to import it. The import seems to succeed. But after the VM is imported it fails to start. Giving this error: "VM zarafa is down with error. Exit message: Failed to find the libvirt domain." Cheers Marc

Hello Marc, could you please attach your vdsm.log of the host where virt-v2v (the conversion tool) is running? In that logs you'll have more details about, and maybe we can try launching manually the conversion command and see what's happening.

Note that since it is a kvm VM, virt-v2v is not involved in the process.

So the VM resided in some oVirt data center (the old system), you exported the VM into an export domain (export folder), detached the export domain from that data center, attached it to a new one, imported the VM and it doesn't run now?
Giving this error: "VM zarafa is down with error. Exit message: Failed to find the libvirt domain."
Please file a bug and attach the engine log, vdsm log and qemu log (the latter can be found in /var/log/libvirt/qemu), covering the time you run the VM.
