We were able to get vmware images running in cloudstack with kvm hypervisor
using qemu-img, but we also had to add the step of going in using a recovery
image to switch all the disk lables from sdx to vdx since that's how they were
being referenced once we switched hypervisors.

This is a VERY high level of the steps, dealing with different
Hyper-visors will produce varying results.
Is there a low level guide to importing/exporting imagery between kvm,
xen and vmware?
Something concise enough to work well with any cloud?

I agree with this statement. Configuration of EL6 or Ubuntu or even
Windows image should be trivial given configuration management.
That said, I understand there are some situations where it isn't
practical, or config management isn't in use. The technical answer is:
For converting to/from KVM
Unfortunately that's not the case. I've had numerous issues
importing/exporting vm imagery from clouds running different
hypervisors. Importing/exporting from the same hypervisor type is fairly
straight forward.

That's because you shouldn't really be importing/exporting between clouds.
The best way to avoid any issues would be to have your instances built from
from a clean ISO install and then have them run post scripts or via a
config manager (puppet, chef, etc...). This can be achieved in both Windows
1 out of 3 qemu-img or vhd-util conversions usually produce a vm that is
corrupt or won't boot or that requires a ton of work to fix up. This is
at least my experience.

Hi Tao Lin,
Currently, the only way known to me is
1) Stop the instance in OpenStack
2) Import the instance as a template
3) Create a new instance, based on that template
4) Run the new instance in CloudStack
5) Discard the OpenStack instance
HTH HAND.

Hi,all:
Is there any method to move instances from Openstack to Cloudstack? Both
OS and CS are using KVM as hypervisor.
Best regards.
