Hello all, I'm trying to import VMs from a Centos5/KVM host to ovirt using virt-v2v. I used this command: virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://root@virthost1.mydomain.local/system -o rhev -os virthost3.mydomain.local:/exports/exp --network ovirtmgmt test.mydomain.local It works, but the resulting OVF file cannot be read by ovirt-engine ("Failed to read VM '[Unknown name]' OVF, it may be corrupted"). I had to edit the OVF file, removing the NIC Item worked, but restoring the imported VM fails. Looking at logs, I found a PostgreSQL constraint violation on an insert (sorry it's in French) "Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERREUR: la valeur d une clé dupliquée rompt la contrainte unique « pk_vm_device » Where: instruction SQL « INSERT INTO vm_device( device_id, vm_id , device , type, address , boot_order , spec_params, is_managed, is_plugged, is_readonly) VALUES( $1 , $2 , $3 , $4 , $5 , $6 , $7 , $8 , $9 , $10 ) »" Looks like there's a primary key violation (duplicate) on insert.

I have two questions: - what's the minimal OVF file that can successfully import a VM?

- are 'default devices' created if they are not in the OVF file? (would explain PK violations)

oVirt is very impressive and stable, deploying was a breeze, but it"s difficult to understand why it is so hard to move VMs from a libvirt/KVM host (which is basically the same architecture). Am I missing something?

OK, I went back to the original OVF file (just had to remove the Ethernet adapter Item so it ovirt would accept it). I'm now back to my original error, integrity violation on pk_vm_device...
