Hi,
To migrate a VM from VMware, there are a few prerequisites:
- All virtual disks must be stored on regular Data Stores, no Data Store pool is allowed
- All virtual disks must be allocated on the same Data Store
- If importing a Windows VM, importing from the command line is mandatory, as well as
having the VirtIO drivers ISO image at handy on the KVM host.
- For Windows VMs, export the VIRTIO_WIN variable pointing to the VirtIO ISO image
- All virtual disks must have some files stored, attached empty disks will not be imported
and no error will through out
- Source VM must have an attached network card and an IP configuration (manual or auto)
Importing a VM using the web UI can take more than 20h while using one the following
methods from the command line will be extremely faster:
- Using virt-v2v-copy-to-local and virt-v2v (1 VM with one 100GB virtual disk in about
15min depending on network, processor, and disk speeds)
- Using the Broadcom VDDK library for virt-v2v (1 VM with one 100GB virtual disk in about
5 to 10 min depending on network, processor, and disk speeds)
