My dozen VMs are currently available only when my (dual boot) hardware isn't running oVirt. Or, to put it the other way, I can only run oVirt when I can take down the VMWare group, because I don't have spare hardware. Working on rebuilding one VM in KVM today (VMWare copy had a problem). The only way I have heard succeed is to use ESX/ESXi or the "hollow pig" method. Create a VM in ovirt, including the hard drive. Replace hard drive file with file from VMWare (or otherwise get data into file). Fiddle with VM hardware & settings until it runs. Ted Miller Elkhart, IN
