Hi everyone,
I am new to ovirt and can't find any documentation about how to import
an existing VM into ovirt. I have a qcow2 image that I know runs under
a KVM hypervisor. Ideally there would be a way for me to import it as
a template because I plan to create other virtual machines based off
this VM.
I tried virt-v2v, but it will only work if I have a datacenter setup
with NFS. In my case, I have a datacenter setup for local storage
hosts.
Thanks,
Andrey
You should create export domain (nfs but still locally on same
machine) and import existing image to this domain. After succesfull
import you can restore machine to your local images domain and
start VM.

I was able to do this successfully. Thanks!
My VM however does not start up :(. I keep hitting this error:
VM testVM2 is down. Exit message internal error process exited while connecting
to monitor: Supported machines are: pc RHEL 6.2.0 PC (alias of rhel6.2.0)
rhel6.2.0 RHEL 6.2.0 PC (default) rhel6.1.0 RHEL 6.1.0 PC rhel6.0.0 RHEL 6.0.0
PC rhel5.5.0 RHEL 5.5.0 PC rhel5.4.4 RHEL 5.4.4 PC rhel5.4.0 RHEL 5.4.0 PC .
I see this in vdsm.log on the host:

How do I go about troubleshooting this?
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-March/001401.html
since this seems to be going around, how about opening a bug (use
keyword: Improvement) to better handle detection of emualted machines at
host/cluster level)
thanks
