Yes, you can import a virtual machine from VMware using virt-v2v tool... Regards, René

It depends. If you're using an ESX server, then yes, pretty easily with virt-v2v. If it's just a disk image, that's more difficult. I think the latest virt-v2v can do it. (Matt?)

The problem with this is that you would also have to go back. V2V definitely isn't what you're looking for. Matt

If you only have the images of the virtual machine but not the ESX server itself, it is possible use a dirty scenario: - first convert the virtual machine to a local libvirt / virtmanager based KVM environment. [1] includes a brief how-to.. - then use virt-v2v to import this new guest to an ovirt import domain. The most complete documentation on v2v I could find is here [2]

It can not AFAIK, but this would be a very welcome addition...

The latest virt-v2v can convert a VMware OVA export. Matt
