Hi, You could use libguestfs tools to add the virtio driver to the Xen VM's image virt-v2v connects to the other virt's hypervisor i think to start the automated conversion,I don't think you can convert images with it.. qemu-img and libguestfs are your friends.. qemu-img convert image.vmdk image.img then use libguestfs tools to edit the image so it has either the virtio drivers installed (if you want to use virtio on RHEV) or the vmware drivers removed (if you use IDE on RHEV) Afterwards dd the image to the disk image on RHEV. I used rsync to migrate Xen paravirt guests to KVM (vnot sure if you have Xen ) I have to add this docs to my blog if i find the time to do it.

I have not ESX so It does not work. I have vmare-server. when finally I get a normal error I get this: virt-v2v -f /etc/virt-v2v.conf -ic esx://192.168.1.94:8333/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -osd 192.168.1.230:/exportDomain MACHINE1 virt-v2v: Fail to connecct to esx://192.168.1.94:8333/?no_verify=1: libvirt error code: 1, message: internal error 192.168.1.94 is neither an ESX 3.5 host nor an ESX 4.0 host What I´m doing now is converting the vmdk image to xen, using: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/VMDKImage and when I have the xen image, I use virt-v2v to convert to kvm. I think this way i´m going to be sucessfull (although i need to make 2 conversions instead of only one) What do you think?
