Hi, Maurice,
Have you tried virt-convert to convert vmx image to virt-image(raw or qcow2)
format?
Which support off-line conversion without a running ESX server

Forgive my noobness, but are you telling me that I can convert an ESX image
without the existence of a running ESX server? If someone gave me an ESX image
on a DVD or hard drive I could then use virt-v2v to convert it?

Yes.
So:
VMware non-ESX -> ESX, using VMware's tool, then ESX -> RHEV using virt-v2v
no?
If this is viable, it's easy to understand why nobody wants to put effort into
supporting a bevy of VMware VM formats, when there's a tool already available
to convert to one and they can focus on it.

My recollection is that VMware provides a converter to change your
VMware non-ESX VMs into ESX format.
Do you have to buy ESX to gain access to it?

How do I do this with an already exported vmware image with no esx

I submitted an RFE to have vmware image conversion added to 3.5.
I think that is a key feature that is lacking. Im just trying to
get some eyes on it here.

can you comment on the gaps from virt-v2v which does this today
(in the bug as well).
thanks,
Itamar
iirc, you need an ESX currently.
Some of us are stuck without a way to try out ovirt because of this.
ESX is not the only platform that people run VMWare on. I am trying
to bring over VMs from an old VMWare Server setup on Centos 5. Works
fine, but there is no migration path. Other people may have VMs on
VMWare Workstation or other, older products. We just get told to go
fly a
kite?
If the only choice is to bring up a full-blown, working ESX instance,
I may bring up ESXi and stay there.

1. i re-opened the RFE on converting a vmware image directly, though not
sure yet when someone we'll get to it.
2. you can always try the p2v approach?
