Hi
Can an existing KVM/Libvirt VM (installed in an LVM) ever be migrated to an
Ovirt node (offline migration is ok.) ?
Also - when Ovirt is released - what OS is the going to be used for .iso
for the node - i.e it is going to be based on Fedora or RHEL (centos) ? (i
know you can get packages for other os's)
Regards

Goed Question,
I'm currently experimenting with a Fedora 16 server install in combination
with KVM.
Would be nice if we could migrate the current VM's to oVirt.
Regards,
Rutger.

There is (or will be) a way to import existing VMs. I know the
virt-v2v[1] tool exists, but not sure about it working with oVirt yet.
There is also an image uploader tool either available or coming. (I
don't personally work on either so I'm not sure of the timelines for
them)

ovirt-node is currently fedora based, though there is a patch pending[2]
that adds some Centos support. Going forward, it will likely continue
to be fedora based for the main development, though we welcome people
who want to extend it to other distros. The Centos support was added
when looking at a different management tool (archipel) so compatibility
of a centos node with oVirt Engine isn't known at this point.

Might be fastest to simply put a generic purpose disk cloning tool like
Clonezilla in the virtual CD drive and use that to take/restore a disk
image.
Understands file systems and only copies the parts of the disk that are
actually in use, instead of the entire thing.
