Hey Everyone So one thing that hasnt been clear for me is method for importing KVMs and QCOW images to ovirt. I have had some success with importing some VMs in KVM format by building a VM of same size and then replacing the image file based on its disk ID. My issue so far has been with some premade qcow and sometimes KVMs dont successfully work with the above method. Is it not possible to simply upload to the disk page in the GUI and attach it to the VM, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance
You are supposed to import the VM from the KVM host:https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/htm...

Does this not assume one has a KVM running in a KVMManager or the like? All I have is a qcow or a .raw file from for example Ruckus for a virtual smartzone VM that I want to import, I dont have the option of a URI to point to.
If that's the case you can just go to the disks page in the ovirt admin site ( Main Menu => Storage => Disks ) and upload them there. Then you can create a new VM and click on the attach button in the VM properties to use the uploaded disk. -Patrick Hibbs On Sat, 2022-03-05 at 22:06 +0000, Abe E wrote:

The odd thing when I do that is that on boot the VM says no boot device or the like

Did you set the boot disk flag in oVirt? Compute -> VMs -> "Highlight VM" -> Disks -> "Highlight boot disk" -> Edit -> "Bootable" tick box Otherwise you should also check the disk type in oVirt is the same as the previous VM disk type - in my example vmdks imported from VMWare were "SCSI" disks to the VM, setting them to "VirtIO-SCSI" in oVirt 4.3 worked well.

Hi Abe, You can upload the disk to the desired store domain and attach it to the guest you create. I do it regularly. I upload the qcow2 image to the storage domain and attach it to the VM using the web interface. Also, you upload the KVM guest disk as a template.
