All;
Can someone point me to the right way to convert VMWare Workstation VM's
to Qemu/KVM/libvirt VM's
I tried this:
Installed Quemu/KVM/libvirt and I have it working, I was able to install
a new Fedora VM using the ISO as the disk image.
Now I want to convert an existing VMWare workstation VM, here is the
file listing in the Directory for the VM I want to convert:
$ ls /data/vmware/Dev-Fedora
Dev-Fedora-0.scoreboard Dev-Fedora-s002.vmdk Dev-Fedora.vmsd
mksSandbox-2.log
Dev-Fedora-1.scoreboard Dev-Fedora-s003.vmdk Dev-Fedora.vmx mksSandbox.log
Dev-Fedora-7.scoreboard Dev-Fedora-s004.vmdk Dev-Fedora.vmxf vmware-0.log
Dev-Fedora-8.scoreboard Dev-Fedora-s005.vmdk Dev-Fedora.vmx.lck
vmware-1.log
Dev-Fedora-9.scoreboard Dev-Fedora-s006.vmdk mksSandbox vmware-2.log
Dev-Fedora.nvram Dev-Fedora.scoreboard mksSandbox-0.log vmware.log
Dev-Fedora-s001.vmdk Dev-Fedora.vmdk mksSandbox-1.log
Then I took these steps:
1) use qemu-img convert to convert the Dev-Fedora.vmdk file:
# qemu-img convert -f vmdk -O qcow2 Dev-Fedora.vmdk Dev-Fedora.qcow2
this created the Dev-Fedora.qcow2 file
2) create a new VM with virt-manager and use the Dev-Fedora.qcow2 file
as the disk image via the 'Import existing disk image' option
3) I start the new VM and I get 'No bootable devices found'
Thanks in advance
