Hi MRJ,

Thanks for the valuable info. I was familiar with vdiskadm but I did not know 
that it had import capabilities as the man page did not support this.

After I imported the vmdk I was a little stuck as I couldn't quite figure out 
how to create the guest domain using this imported vdisk. I used somewhat of a 
hackish method in order to create the guest domain. I ran virt-install to fake 
an installation and specified the vidsk that I had previously imported. Once it 
was created and running I just rebooted the domain and viola, the domain booted 
just fine.

I noticed virsh has a two subcommands - create and define but I was unable to 
get them to work as I needed an XML configuration file which normally you can 
dump from an existing domain. Since my vdisk came from a VMware server I was 
not able to do this unless I missing something.

Cheers,
-Chris
