[ovirt-users] Re: [External] Does anyone have a positive experience with physical host to oVirt conversion?

2019-06-19 Thread Nathanaël Blanchet

Many ways to accomplish such a thing,  this is what I personnaly did:

 * Make the virtio modules available at kernel boot
 o mkinitrd --with virtio_pci --with virtio_blk --with virtio_scsi
   -f /boot/initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
 * boot on a rescue live centos with network enabled
 * mount a (NFS) share
 * dd if=/dev/sdX of=/mnt/share/os.img
 * upload your disk with UI/API to ovirt
 * manually define your vm by attaching this disk

This is what does virt-p2v under ther cover, but you do it it by your own.

I am also confused with the whole process. If anyone has a quick

Hello,

Just would like to check if it really possible to convert old Centos6 
based physical box into oVirt 4.3 VM? I haven't been able to find any 
success stories on this and process seems a bit complicated.
As I understand it I need a virt-v2v conversion proxy + image with 
virt-p2v running on physical host which needs to be converted. I'm a 
bit lost how I can get the converted VM into oVirt cluster than?
