Hi, You can import regular qcow2 images into ovirt with few steps: 1)check what kind of image you have qemu-img -info vm4import.img 2) create an vm with exact disk image size as qemu-img -info shows. 3) run vm in paused mode(sometimes it is hard to find out the VM disk) 4) go to host where paused vm is running: find /rhev |grep "your vm uuid" and get your vm image UUID 5) do not use dd, use better qemu-img convert -p -O raw $1 ${2} or qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 $1 ${2} with -p option you have a nice progress bar:)
Then poweroff the paused vm and start it. Maybe someone has a better tools, but sometimes better to get an idea behind the scene without any wodoo scripts. *********************************************************** Dr. Arman Khalatyan eScience -SuperComputing Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP) An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany *********************************************************** On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 10:40 AM, Barak Korren <bkor...@redhat.com> wrote: > >> > > Maybe this will help you?: > > https://jonarcher.info/2014/02/import-regular-kvm-image-ovirt-rhev/ > > > Thanks! this looks like a step in the right direction! > > A few caveats I see and further questions: > 1.
