I have run into the same issues in experimenting with libvirt on our VCL 2.3 test system. I would also be interested to hear how others are doing it. I'm also using CentOS 6.

I recompiled the latest version and it copied/converted the .vmdks properly. I am now facing a problem with libguestfs, NOT recognizing the OS inside the .qcow2. Again, I think this is due to older release of libguestfs. What distro are you guys using for libvirt hosts?

We are now trying out a libvirt host. We have the host up but we are having issues deploying our vmare images on it. It appears be related with multiple files .vmdks disks and qemu-img convert. The resulting qcow2 file is way too small, and the vm fails to boot saying disk is NOT bootable. If I take a -flat.vmdk image and convert it, I can boot the vm manually in virt-manager. Anybody has seen this? Thanks Yanik
