Re: [Users] Possible to migrate from an existing KVM/Libvirt VM (installed in an LVM) ?
From: Morgan Cox <morgancoxuk@gmail.com>
Can an existing KVM/Libvirt VM (installed in an LVM) ever be migrated to an Ovirt node (offline migration is ok.) ?
[Sorry this isn't threaded -- I wasn't subscribed to the list until now] The answer is that virt-v2v ought to work with oVirt. It was developed originally against RHEV-M 2.2 and, later, 3.0. Of course KVM guest images should require only minimal changes, since they should already support virtio etc., certainly for Linux guests. So in many cases virt-v2v would be a no-op, and simply copying the disk image may work. Matt ...?

I've never tested against an ovirt node. I guess it *should* work. Of course, it probably doesn't work in practise due to a minor setup differences. The only way to find out would be to try it.
