Hi ESG, It's a bit tricky. First you create a new vm in RHEV (give it the same hw as on of the converted vm's) and make sure you create a pre-allocated disk the same size as the disk of the converted vm. Log-on to one of your hypervisors and run mount to see where the disk store is mounted. Go there and find the disk of the vm you just created :). I dont have a sure way to identify the vm/disk that you created from the web interface. First and last time I tried I did an ls of (I think?) vms/images directory, created the new vm from the web interface and noticed that a new id (directory) appeared after another ls. Then I just dd'ed the converted image of the pre-allocated disk and started up. Everything worked like a charm. I am hoping to work more closely on this in the following week. I think you can get the id of the vm/disk from powershell and this should make things easier. This I intend to find out next time I have some free time.
