[Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt?
So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from vmware esxi4 over to ovirt. I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla. But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling vmtools and vmware drivers. I have done this. I then use clonezilla to put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt. It starts to boot then blue screen of death. Am I missing something other than syspreping the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers? Also is there a better way? P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock solid for the past month great job guys! Thanks again, -- Dominic Kaiser Greater Boston Vineyard Director of Operations cell: 617-230-1412 fax: 617-252-0238 email: dominic@bostonvineyard.org
google for virt-v2v - it's a tool that allows you to migrate from an ESX server to RHEV, it'll work with oVirt too. ----- Original Message -----

Hey all here is an update using virt-v2v with esxi4 to import from throws an error: Invalid configuration of Net::HTTPS at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/Transfer/ESX.pm line 68. I fixed this due to a fix coming down the line by removing: rpm -e --nodeps perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.49-1.fc16.noarch Then I was able to start the import from the esxi4 server. Here is the link where I found the fix: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.guestfs/716 Hope this helps, Dominic Kaiser On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 11:04 AM, Brown, Chris (GE Healthcare) < Christopher.Brown@med.ge.com> wrote:
