[ovirt-users] virt-v2v

[Patrick Russell]

Will,

Is this esxi or esx and vcenter? If you have regular esx you need to connect through vcenter first. We’ve migrated over 500 (windows and linux mix) VM’s using virt-v2v. Some of the windows VM’s did require us to use a testing repo for libvirt on our V2V box.

This doesn’t answer your question directly, but I never had any luck using virt-v2v from VMWare.  I found it worked well to treat the VMWare VM just like a physical server, boot it from the virt-v2v iso and convert the VMWare VM that way.

Hi

I have a project to convert VMs on VMware ESX 5.5 and some VM on standalone KVM server to oVirt.  I started to look into virt-v2v.  I wonder if I'm hitting the right list.  Please let me know if this list doesn't cover virt-v2v.

Issue:
when I run the following command on one of two hosts running oVirt 3.3.3-2-el6
    virt-v2v  -ic esx://esxserver1/?no_verify=1 -os GFS1 virtmachine1

I got:
virt-v2v: Failed to connect to qemu:///system: libvirt error code: 45, message: authentication failed: Failed to step SASL negotiation: -7 (SASL(-7): invalid parameter supplied: Unexpectedly missing a prompt result)

I already added a .netrc which 600, correct oVirt login and password. I also ran saslpasswd2 as root already.

Thanks

Will
