Subject: [Users] How to resize physical disk size with  virt-p2v

Hi,

we’re currently using oVirt engine3.0 and have about 50 VMs successfully running ( thanks for your great work!!)

 

At the moment we do migrate ESX/KVM VMs and baremetal servers to oVirt.
For p2v migration we’re using virt-p2v 0.87 (iso created from rpm virt-p2v-image-builder)

Migration is working fine, but the vdisk size is accordingly to original physical hdd size.

For example:

Server with 500 GB HDD size, partitions (swap,/,boot) shrinked to ~50 GB.

(df –h will show only 50 GB for / )

 

 

First I thought, shrinking partitions of the server will help out,

But unfortunately, the tool is using the whole hard disk space to convert (using dd ?)

…and so we have a successfully migrated VM in oVirt with 500GB vHDD size.

 

Is there any way or alternative software we can use for P2V migration?

 

Thanks in advance,

Sven.
