[ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host

[Nelson Lameiras]

Thanks for your answer. I do not think that I'm experiencing that same bug exactly.

The issue 1362525 (below) concerns a KVM VM with iSCSI disk being importend to RHEV that does not perform well.

In my case, when oVirt GUI proposes me the list of machines on KVM host to import, each machine as a "disk count" next to it.
- This "disk count" is correct if the VM has it's storage on a raw/qcow file (local) - and import goes well
- But "disk count" is 0 (always) if the VM has it's storage on a block device (ie iscsi) - and import is not possible at all!

It seems to me that current oVirt migration tool is unable to read/analyse distant VM machines with block device storage... Maybe I'm analysing this issue wrongly.

Thanks,
nelson
