Re: [Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt?

2012-02-29 Thread Andrew Cathrow
google for virt-v2v - it's a tool that allows you to migrate from an ESX server 
to RHEV, it'll work with oVirt too.

[Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt?

2012-02-29 Thread Dominic Kaiser
So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from
vmware esxi4 over to ovirt.  I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla.
 But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling
vmtools and vmware drivers.  I have done this.  I then use clonezilla to
put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt.  It starts to boot
then blue screen of death.  Am I missing something other than syspreping
the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers?  Also is there a
better way?

P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock
solid for the past month great job guys!

Thanks again,
