Hi Vincent, I´m trying, I have converted a vmware to xen and it works fine (I boot this image in my xen server and it boots ok), but when I have tried to convert this xen to kvm with virt-v2v It failed virt-v2v -f /etc/virt-v2v.conf -o rhev -ic xen+ssh://root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -osd 192.168.1.230:/exportDomain XENCONVERTED root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx's password: open /dev/kvm: No such file or directory Could not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support virt-v2v: No existe capability en la configuración que coincida con os='linux' name='virtio' distro='fedora' major='13' command: error reading information on service kudzu: No such file or directory at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestfsHandle.pm line 187. When I do the same with a RHEL instead of fedora it worked, I´m going to make tests with qemu-img and libguestfs as you suggested, thanks for your help (please find time to update your blog :-) ) ESG 2010/11/12 Vincent Van der Kussen <Vincent.VanderKussen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > 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. > > Regards, > Vincent > > > > Vincent Van der Kussen > System Engineer > direct: +32 3 369 01 93 > Vincent.VanderKussen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > BTR Services > Groene Hofstraat 31 > 2850 Boom > Belgium > www.btr-services.be > tel: +32 3 450 89 80 > fax: +32 3 450 89 89 > > > > - DISCLAIMER - > This message contains confidential information and is intended only for > redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxxx If you are not redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx, you should > not disseminate, distribute or copy this e-mail.
