I did a conversion with all disks connected on the KVM at once (which, the KVM version of the VM works fine, all SQL services start and DBs come up fine).
When I import the VM with virt-v2v, the new VM will not boot until I remove the D drive. Rich, copying the disk over manually sounds like a viable plan, but im not sure what target directory to put it in. is there some specific place it should go when copying in by hand?

The bad news is that virt-v2v won't work on a data disk. It has to be presented with either just the operating system disk, or all disks at once. The good news is that you don't need to convert data disks! virt-v2v knows nothing about them, and would do nothing to them. Simply copy the data disk over to the export domain using 'scp' or 'dd' or whatever.
