[ovirt-users] Basic export/import question (KVM to oVirt)

[Bellamy, Peter]

Is it necessary to export VMs that are straight libvirt/KVM (raw) images before importing them into oVirt?

I have a working oVirt 3.5 lab environment up & I’d like to try and bring in some of my existing VMs from my straight KVM/libvirt setup.  Those VMs are in raw image format.

I *think* I need to export the VMs (using virt-v2v) from the KVM hosts to an export domain, then import those VM images into oVirt (using oVirt admin GUI).  Is that correct, or is it simpler than that?

Thanks in advance.
