Hi,
I am running a ovirt engine and ovirt host on a single machine for testing =
purpose. I trying to convert and move Debian virtualbox vm which is created=
using vagrant into ovirt engine as template.
I tried to convert using virt-v2v as http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html.=
However, I get error as (Debian/ Linux cannot be converted).
I have exported the vm from virtualbox and have the image as .ova. Is there=
any way to migrate?
Thanks

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

Is

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.

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

Hi Gajendra,
virt-v2v didn't support Debian/Ubuntu guests, it is a=
pparently in a later version that is due to be included in RHEL/Centos 7.4
What I did to get a Metasploitable2 image into oVirt was.
1. convert vmdk disk
qemu-img convert -f vmdk Metasploitable.vmdk -O raw Metasploitable.i=
mg
2. 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.
