similar to: Convert a locally stored copy of an esxi virtual machine to libvirt using virt-v2v?

Hi, I am trying to install Vmware (Exsi 4.0) as a VM on Xen (VM-on-VM). My platform is Intel S5500HC motherboard and Xeon E5502 processor, 4G Ram. Xen 3.4.1, dom0 is linux 2.6.31.6 pv_ops kernel on FC12. The Vmware installation was failing with "Failed to load lvmdriver" error. On modifing the network model to e1000 (vif = [''type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0, model=e1000'' ])

It should work fine. What esxi version you are using? Eero 4.11.2015 6.27 ip.

Guys, I have a Packer build procedure, that works like a charm, when with CentOS 6.7. Exemplifying: 1- Packer (with virtio disk) + QEmu + CentOS 6.7 ISO; 2- Create a RAW image; 3- Convert the RAW image into QCOW2 for KVM hypervisors (okay); 4- Convert the RAW image into VMDK for ESXi hypervisors (okay). However, when doing the very same procedure, with CentOS 7.2 ISO, it does not boot

Hi, Dear Mr/Mrs. I have two questions ask for help: my virt-manager and libvirt version is : linux-vaan:~ # rpm -q libvirt libvirt-0.8.5-1.2.i586 linux-vaan:~ # uname -a Linux linux-vaan 2.6.34-12-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-06-29 02:39:08 +0200 i686 i386 GNU/Linux linux-vaan:~ # rpm -q virt-manager virt-manager-0.8.5-3.1.i586 linux-vaan:~ # cat /etc/SuSE-release openSUSE 11.3 (i586) VERSION =

Hi, Today I was trying to start a node using libvirt on ESX (esxi-5.1) hypervisor and I got the following error message: *virsh # define /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *Domain testNode defined from /local/myNode/esxdomain.xml* *virsh # start testNode* *error: Failed to start domain testNode* *error: internal error: Could not start domain: GenericVmConfigFault - Cannot open the disk

Hi all, I've been trying out Gluster Platform, so some info will be from the management interface. If additional data from logs is required, please let me know which logfiles. When using a Gluster NFS volume as a ESXi datastore, creation of a disk file (vmdk) takes a considerable amount of time (with unfsd using 10-50% cpu) and then crashes unfsd. A reboot of the system seems necessary to

Hi. On my new job we use VMware ESXi (Free version), but my colleagues use Windows on their PC's. I am allowed to use CentOS Linux, but I have no prior experience with WMVare. I now (today) have to install CentOS 6.x minimal on that ESXi server, so I am trying to wrap my head around whole ecosystem. What should I install on my CentOS 6.x so I can access/manage ESXi server and manage

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I am little confused here. How to add volume on my esx server using virsh? I did SCP and copied my vmdk image to [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk and also modified my xml file as you suggested. Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

Hello List, i have Debian ESXi Guest VMs. Can i use virt-v2v to convert and import them in oVirt? I have read that this is possible for RedHat guest and i was wondering if this also works for Debian Guest VMs, too. Thanks, Mario

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

I have a new ESXi server (5.x), and trying to load some VM guests on there. I have the guests configured, but when I try and boot from ISO image, the graphics are so bad it is futile. No worries I normally use kickstart anyways. Because the ESXi (on the same network as my physical servers) cannot talk to the PXE server. But works fine on the network (I can ssh/scp in and out of the ESXi

The first patch was previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-December/msg00018.html That patch hasn't changed except that I made the ‘input_transport’ variable type-safe. The second patch adds a significant new mode for liberating data from VMware: the ability to copy VMs over SSH directly from ESXi hypervisors. Although this requires enabling SSH access (a

virt-v2v is capable of accessing ESXi hypervisors now. There is only one remaining use of this tool - when converting from Xen hypervisors over ssh which are using host block devices for storage. --- v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod | 27 ++------------------------- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod b/v2v/virt-v2v-copy-to-local.pod index

No. The supported guests are listed here: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#support-matrix Rich. > I have read that this is possible for RedHat guest and i was wondering > if this also works for Debian Guest

Hi all, I need to install a virtual machine acting as a virtual storage server under CentOS 5.x (using kvm, xen, virtualbox or vmware). This virtual storage machine needs to server storage to another ESXi server and at the same time to the host where is installed. This is due to the limitations of hardware I have available. Both hosts needs to server several machines. It is very

I have 2 APC UPS systems, one is connected to my ESXi host and the other to my FreeNAS. The battery for the FreeNAS will run out before the battery for the ESXi, so I need ESXi to shutdown first. If I wait until BatteryLow on ESXI, it will be too late as FreeNAS will have already shutdown. How can I change the configuration on ESXI to shutdown after a small delay so that it is done before
