[ovirt-users] converting windows guests with v2v, where to put the iso?

[Jeremiah Jahn]

Just so my solution is out there...

You have to edit /var/lib/virt-v2v/virt-v2v.db  to use the correct
paths from the iso.

Copy all of the drivers into the same directory

then lower case all of the driver names

for f in *; do mv $f `echo $f | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`; done

uncomment and fix the appropriate network mapping in /etc/virt-v2v.conf

 <network type='bridge' name='VM Network'>
    <network type='network' name='ovirtmgmt'/>
  </network>

if you have to activate the windows machine and it doesn't startup
knowing anything about your ethernet device

press F8 on startup and go into safe mode with command prompt where it
will let you install the appropriate virtIO drivers.

once you restart you should be able to activate things.

this was all for an XP guest.


looks like Redhat does a lot more than just packing the ISO into an RPM.

-jj-
