[Users] qcow2 image import.
Hello !! I'm wondering if it's possible to import a VM disk on qcow2 format on oVirt to use it as a VM hard disk. The idea is to import a VMWare (vmdk) o Xen (ova) virtual hdd on oVirt. Regards. -- AGD

As far as i remember, there is no way to import just a disk, only vm/template. i guess you could find a way to create an OVF to represent a vm that attached to that disk, import it and then detach the disk from the fake vm ------=_Part_30884468_468910387.1345371747433 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <html><head><style type='text/css'>p { margin: 0; }</style></head><body><div style='font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000'><br><br><hr id="zwchr"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Andres Gonzalez" <tuchoz@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>users@ovirt.org<br><b>Sent: </b>Saturday, August 18, 2012 5:30:34 AM<br><b>Subject: </b>[Users] qcow2 image import.<br><br><div><div>Hello !!</div><div><br></div><div>I'm wondering if it's possible to import a VM disk on qcow2 format on oVirt to use it as a VM hard disk.</div><div>The idea is to import a VMWare (vmdk) o Xen (ova) virtual hdd on oVirt.</div> <div><br></div><div>Regards.</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br>AGD<br> <br>_______________________________________________<br>Users mailing list<br>Users@ovirt.org<br>http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users<br></blockquote>As far as i remember, there is no way to import just a disk,<br>only vm/template.<br>i guess you could find a way to create an OVF to represent a vm that attached to that disk,<br>import it and then detach the disk from the fake vm<br></div></body></html> ------=_Part_30884468_468910387.1345371747433--

but you don't need to convert the vmdk to qcow2 necessarily - take a look at virt-v2v to do this for you, including changing drivers, etc.

As could could see virt-v2v converts VMWare ESX/ESXi VMs, but I have on VMWare Server 2.x. Also I have Citrix XenServer VMs. Regards.- -- AGD

matt/rich - any pointers on converting these? thanks, Itamar

Virt-v2v cannot convert from the OVF + disk image at the moment. We'll probably support this in future now that support for VMDK in qemu is working better. Also there's no support for conversion from Citrix Xen. It's also on the wishlist. If you have the original ESX server then you can convert from that. Alternately just convert the image using qemu-img, and it may work. The drivers will be all wrong, but it may be possible to fix those up by hand (using libguestfs if it doesn't boot). Note that older versions of qemu were known to silently corrupt VMDK files when you converted them, so check the result before deleting the original.

Wouldn't it be possible to use VMware converter 3 to migrate the VMs to ESX/ESXi type and then use virt-v2v?
Also I have Citrix XenServer VMs.

There's an application from Acronis ( http://www.acronis.com/backup-recovery/advanced-server-virtual/#red-hat-rhev) that seems to work (convert Citrix Xen Server and VMWAre VMs) to RHEV, this should also work on oVirt, don't ? -- AGD

Do we have such a tool in oVirt? Or just create the OVF file manually? After I get the OVF file, where should I put the OVF file and the disk file to be imported?
