[ovirt-users] vmware ova import problem

[Jiří Sléžka]

Hi,

today I tested vmware ova import for first time but unfortunately it
failed. (btw. it would be great to have a possibility to upload ova
directly from manager...)

problem seems to be this (vdsm/import log)

...
libguestfs: trace: v2v: inspect_get_type = "linux"
                               i_root = /dev/sda1
                                                              i_type =
linux
                      i_distro = debian
                                                     i_arch = i386

           i_major_version = 9
                                          i_minor_version = 0

i_package_format = deb
                               i_package_management = apt

i_product_name = 9.0
                               i_product_variant = unknown
                                                              i_uefi =
false

...
...
...
[  13.7] Converting 9.0 to run on KVM
                               virt-v2v: error: virt-v2v is unable to
convert this guest type
(linux/debian)
                               rm -rf '/var/tmp/ova.lB3mEN'
                                                              rm -rf
'/var/tmp/null.kaX2uZ'
...

so is debian really unsupported to be imported fom vmware ova?

I believe this vm could run as is, even without v2v convert.

It would be nice to have a possibility to bypass v2v process and import
appliance as is, just disk(s) and vm definition. Does it make sense?

Cheers,
