Importing VM's from VMware

Hi, We are making our first attempt at importing VM's from VMWare, i am able to connect to our VMWare environment and i can choose a VM to import and i am able to start the process. A VM is created, the disk is created as well then the task completes in ovirt. Looking at my virtual machines, the vm shows up with a red arrow and a lock next to it. After that there are no tasks that appear. Is there a way to monitor the import process of the VM? Currently running Ovirt 4.04. Thanks

Hi, during the import process engine shows status like "Initializing", "Copying disk x/y" and "Finishing" next to the VM. Could you check in the engine status of the import task? Did it finish successfully or with an error? You can also check the vdsm.log for any errors. Best regards, Tomas On Mon, 24 Oct 2016 13:42:44 -0500 "Bryan Sockel" <Bryan.Sockel@altn.com> wrote:

The process finished successfully, took about 4 hours per vm, not sure if this is typical or not, but this being our first test run i was afraid that it may have stopped and was unsure. I will check the VDSM.log file on the next test migration i do.

What was the size of the disks and what was the network interfaces speed on both sides? What is the storage performance on both? Y.
