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, Is there a way to use a locally stored copy of an exsi created virtual machine to convert to libvirt via virt-v2v? I don't want to have to download the image from the esxi server each time I run virt-v2v as that copy takes a long time. Perhaps I'm just missing the command line option. What I would like to do is copy the image manually to the virt-v2v server and work on it locally

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

Hi I have converted win2k3 which was deployed in vmware esxi to oVirt by using "v2v" tool ,imported successfully after powering on unable to get the login prompt getting stuck at "windows is starting". can someone help me in this issue ? pls help me to know the commands to get the virt2v logs Thanks, Nagaraju

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

Usual prologue: we're testing on CentOS 5.5, RHEL subscriptions purchased. Now trying to use virt-v2v to transfer Win2008 Server guest from ESXi host to KVM host. Have enabled SSH on ESXi host, and can connect using esx+ssh://esxhost, but procedure fails because nc isn't found on ESXi. Fair enough. BTW, ESXi looks like a radically cut down RH system (/etc/sysconfig being the give-away)?

Hello, I've trying to move a 32bit CentOS 6.4 on VirtualBox to oVirt on Fedora 19 64bit via virt-v2v. The command I'm currently using is: virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -of qcow2 -oa sparse -o rhev -osd xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/usr/local/ovirt/exports --network ovirtmgmt /usr1/home/williams/Downloads/OpenAthens/VMs/OpenAthensLARuntime2.2.xml The exciting bit of the XML is: <devices>

I may have stumbled across a virt-v2v bug. I just did a successful virt-v2v migration of a Windows 2008 server from an ESXi host to a RHEV environment. While the VM was still on the ESXi side, I removed its VMWare tools and rebooted it just make sure it was still functional. Then I shut it down and V2V'd and imported it into RHEV. When I first powered up the new RHEV copy, it

hi, i'm trying to import a VM in oVirt from a KVM host that doesn't use storage pools. this fails with the following message in /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log: 2017-07-05 09:34:20,513+0200 ERROR (jsonrpc/5) [root] Error getting disk size (v2v:1089) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/v2v.py", line 1078, in _get_disk_info vol =

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