Hi, To migrate a VM from VMware, there are a few prerequisites: - All virtual disks must be stored on regular Data Stores, no Data Store pool is allowed - All virtual disks must be allocated on the same Data Store - If importing a Windows VM, importing from the command line is mandatory, as well as having the VirtIO drivers ISO image at handy on the KVM host. - For Windows VMs, export the VIRTIO_WIN variable pointing to the VirtIO ISO image - All virtual disks must have some files stored, attached empty disks will not be imported and no error will through out - Source VM must have an attached network card and an IP configuration (manual or auto)
Importing a VM using the web UI can take more than 20h while using one the following methods from the command line will be extremely faster: - Using virt-v2v-copy-to-local and virt-v2v (1 VM with one 100GB virtual disk in about 15min depending on network, processor, and disk speeds) - Using the Broadcom VDDK library for virt-v2v (1 VM with one 100GB virtual disk in about 5 to 10 min depending on network, processor, and disk speeds) Marcos -----Original Message----- From: dushyantk....@gmail.com <dushyantk....@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2025 7:32 AM To: users@ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: [External] : Re: Unable to migrate vm with 4 (500g) disks from vmware to ovirt.
