Hi,

I am not sure if it's the right place to post this question.

I tried to do a P2V operation of a Win2k3 server to ovirt 3.5


the physical server is RAID5 of 3x146Go configured, about 290 Go usable space, but the server uses about 20Go only.

I am wondering how to shrink the disk of the migrated physical machine, do I have to do it before using P2V tool?

The same question for Linux servers.

Thanks.

You can use clonezilla to migrate your physical server to an oVirt VM. Prepare a vm with a disk of the same size and configure as thin provision. Boot both servers with clonezilla and clone using the network. Clonezilla only copies the used block in your source disk. Note that you need to include some ide drivers in your source server before clone in order your Windows server can boot up[1]
