Hi,
I find it hard to find any information about the way I have to
follow to convert/import a vmdk/qcow/raw/etc... single disk into an
oVirt disks list.
I know how to use virt-v2v to import complete VMs (disk AND config),
but don't know how to handle a single data disk.
Assuming it's a data disk with no operating system on it, then it's
very likely the internal filesystem requires no conversion at all, so
it's outside the scope of virt-v2v.
However the disk format might need to be converted, eg. from VMDK to
qcow2. You can do this using 'qemu-img convert' or VMware's
vdiskmanager program.
I'm not sure about how you would import a disk into oVirt. I guess
that copying it onto the Export Storage Domain won't work because
oVirt will expect a full guest config.
Do you intend to attach this data disk to some existing VM?
Rich.
That is exactly the case : it is indeed a pure data disk with an ext3
filesystem (no LVM, no nothing).
I intend to attach it to some existing VM.
I know how to convert it into qcow2 or whatever.
I know how to create an additionnal disk in oVirt.
I know I could trick the system by creating a disk in oVirt, then
replace its content by playing with dd, or exploring LVs indide my
domain master LUN.
But I must admit I was dreaming of some 'official' way to do that.
