Hi list, Is it possible to import VM from vSphere 4 with virt-v2v ? I use the p2v ISO but I want to automate process. Thanks a lot ------------------------ COUSIN Kevin

...ng the guest is supported. You shouldn't need to use virt-p2v, plain virt-v2v should work. I suggest exporting the guest as an OVA first. You can do this manually (File -> Export an OVF Template), but for automating the process it's probably better to use with VMware's proprietary ovftool: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#create-ova-with-ovftool The whole process is described here: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#input-from-vmware-ova Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blo...

Fix some quoting issues by introducing Unicode quotes. Note this intentionally only affects end-user messages and documentation. Rich.

This patch is incomplete, but early feedback would be welcome. Rich.

It turns out that RHEL 5 Xen conversions don't work if the source disk is located on a block device. See patch 1/4 for the gory details. This patch series proposes a new tool called virt-v2v-copy-to-local which essentially is a way to make new virt-v2v work like the old virt-v2v, ie. copy first, convert after. Of course this is very slow and would only be used as a last resort, but I
