Yes, virt-v2v only supports a limited number of operating systems, Debian is just not supported.

The only way I know of is to convert/migrate the harddisk of your guest machine and attach it to a newly created VM. The necessary tools are "VBoxManage clonemedium ..." and qemu-img(1) for example. cu, Uwe

It is, now. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1362497#c1 not in el7 yet, so you need to get it from libguestfs.org Thanks, michal

Find size of disk 8GB in this case qemu-img info Metasploitable.img 3. Create VM O/S Linux with disk of that size and of interface type IDE thi= n provision 4. In engine in the DATA_DOMAIN record the id of the disk just created 5. in the DATA_DOMAIN on one the hosts/nodes go to the images directory e.g. mount_point/UUID/images 6. cd to directory of the id of the disk recorded at step 5 (also probably = last directory created) there should be 3 files and the one without an extension should be 8GB they should all start with the same UUID in this case 1805e3a4-0697-4= c0a-8dfb-0c0011490bd2 7. dd if=3D/path/Metasploitable.img of=3D1805e3a4-0697-4c0a-8dfb-0c0011490= bd2 bs=3D4M 8. Boot VM. It may be easier converting the disk and creating a new VM with it or seein= g if Fedora has a more modern virt-v2v Regards, Paul S. ________________________________ From: users-bounces@ovirt.org <users-bounces@ovirt.org> on behalf of Gajend= ra Ravichandran <r.gajendran@hotmail.co.uk> Sent: 09 May 2017 11:01 To: users@ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Migrate VirtualBox Vm into Hi, I am running a ovirt engine and ovirt host on a single machine for testing = purpose.
