How do I do this to a VM that has multiple disks? 


virt-install --connect qemu:///system --ram 1024 -n griffu -r 2048 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --disk path=/media/Storage/<VMName>.qcow2,device=disk,format=qcow2 --vcpus=2 --vnc --noautoconsole –import

II created this document for the company where I work. Maybe it is userfull for you too: 

Migrate from VMWare to oVirt 

1. On VmWare: 

a. Export the VM to ovf format. There is a smb/nfs share on virt-v2v you can use as storage. 
i. NFS: Virtv2v.:/media/Storage 
ii. SMB: virtv2v.  share: virtv2v 

2. with virtv2v 

a. Log in on the virt-v2v vm. 
b. Locate and Extract the ovf file with tar –xvf 
c. Convert the extracted vmdk file to raw disk format with the following command: 
vboxmanage clonehd --format RAW <VMNAME>.vmdk <NewVMName>.raw 
d. Convert the created RAW file to a qemu2 img: 
qemu-img convert -f raw <VM-Name>.raw -O qcow2 <VMName>.qcow2 
e. Run the vm in virsh: 
virt-install --connect qemu:///system --ram 1024 -n griffu -r 2048 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel6 --disk path=/media/Storage/<VMName>.qcow2,device=disk,format=qcow2 --vcpus=2 --vnc --noautoconsole –import 
f. Take a xml dump of the VM and copy the result in a new file <VMName>.xml 
virsh dumpxml <VMName> 
g. Now let’s move the vm to ovirt. Make sure the nfs is attached to the TestDev Datacenter. 
virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -ic qemu+ssh://<FQDN-Hypervisor> /system -o rhev -os <FQDN-NFS-exportdomainserver>:/media/NfsProgress -n ovirtmgmt <VMName>.xml

Hello, 
I downloaded an image . vmdk from a repository and wanted to import it into my oVirt infrastructure . 
Is it possible? 
If it is possible how? 
Thanks, 
Massimo
