Hi, The following command migrates a KVM vm named "test-rhel6" to your export domain "ovirt-engine:/data/nfs/export" with qcow2, thin provisioned disk and ovirtmgmt-network from KVM host "kvm-host":
# virt-v2v -i libvirt -ic qemu+ssh://root@kvm-host/system -o rhev -os ovirt-engine:/data/nfs/export -of qcow2 -oa sparse -n ovirtmgmt test-rhel6 See "virt-v2v --help" for details... You can also create a profile in /etc/virt-v2v.conf to avoid command line arguments for virt-v2v... For migration you need an export domain which must be NFS (not iSCSI). So the migration steps are: 1. create export domain 2. activate export domain on datacenter 3. install virt-v2v on ovirt engine host 4. migrate host to export domain 5. import vm from export domain -- Best Regards René Koch Senior Solution Architect ============================================ ovido gmbh - "Das Linux Systemhaus" Brünner Straße 163, A-1210 Wien Phone: +43 720 / 530 670 Mobile: +43 660 / 512 21 31 E-Mail: r.k...@ovido.at ============================================ On Wed, 2013-01-30 at 11:43 +0100, Nicolas Ecarnot wrote: > Hi, > > Reading the docs all day long helped me to setup a nice Data center in > iSCSI mode, connected to a big LUN in a san. > Many many points are working, mostly thanks to you, people of this list. > > Apart from this oVirt setup (1 manager, 3 nodes, 1 san), I have a > completely separated ubuntu hypervisor running a standalone local KVM > with a local storage. > > I have not a clear view of how I will manage to import these VM into oVirt. > > Of course, I've read about ovirt-v2v (and its huge amount of > dependencies...), but I'm not sure this is the way I have to follow? > As far as I've understood, v2v seems to be dedicated to connection > between oVirt datacenters, or vmware or Xen plateforms, but I see > nothing about the connection to a distant standalone KVM hypervisor. > > One more thing that is unclear to me, and seems related, is the notion > of export / import domain.
