Does anyone have a positive experience with physical host to oVirt conversion?
Hello, Just would like to check if it really possible to convert old Centos6 based physical box into oVirt 4.3 VM? I haven't been able to find any success stories on this and process seems a bit complicated. As I understand it I need a virt-v2v conversion proxy + image with virt-p2v running on physical host which needs to be converted. I'm a bit lost how I can get the converted VM into oVirt cluster than? -- Regards, Artem
I am also confused with the whole process. If anyone has a quick start guide or video I’d be interested in checking it out.

For converting my Debian boxes I do this. It is nothing fancy. Things you would do with plain physical systems as well. I have a VM for preparing VM images where I attach newly created disks, rsyncing all data from old host to the new image. Then I shut down the preparation VM, remove the new disk from it. Create a new VM and attach the disk to that VM. I boot a rescue CD, fix /etc/fstab and networking, Re-Install grub to the disk. Done.
I just use the virt-p2v ISO to boot on the machine to be converted and them fire the conversion. You do need a VM running with virt-v2v inside oVirt to talk with the virt-p2v ISO and do the conversion.
