Hi,
I haven't had any luck using the oVirt GUI or virt-v2v (see earlier
email), and I need to find a way to migrate quite a few Windows hosts
(Windows 7, 2012, 2008, 2k3 etc) into my test oVirt cluster as a PoC
so I can make a compelling case for getting rid of VMware. Using OVF
files looks like a lot more manual work as compared to the GUI or
virt-v2v, with their nice conversion features.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Cam

Are you getting errors?
Here's what I have in my notes but you may already have tried it and the
GUI doesn't seem to have a way to do it. I migrated from both ESXi6 and
VMwareWorkstation 11. First I exported as ova.
** Make sure the export directory is mounted.
* virt-v2v doesn't like being run as root so run it as vdsm user and
you need to specify the shell.
su - vdsm -s /bin/bash
For Export storage located on another computer remote to the one running
virt-v2v use the host:/export format
virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os
ovhost1:/srv/exports/ovirt/export1 --network VLAN100 -oa sparse -on <vm
name> <input file name>
For Export storage located on a server that is doing exporting use this
format with local directory path for -os
virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os /srv/exports/ovirt/export1 -oa
sparse --network VLAN100 -on <vm name> /path/<input file name>
I moved my ova files to my host (I run hosted engine deployment). Then I
su'd and ran the second command since my host exports the oVirt Export
directory.
Once the command completes I run the oVirt admin import and select the
VMs from the list and move them over. I have to change the location of
the storage since it defaults to the Engine storage and not my iSCSI
storage.
I've done it on mainly Linux and a Win 7 VM and it worked. I haven't
tried any servers yet.
