Doc Text:	With this update, the ability to import Red Hat Enterprise Linux KVM guest images managed by libvirt directly to Red Hat Virtualization has been added. To import KVM virtual machines from libvirt the libvirt uri, username and password are required. For the libvirt uri using QEMU and TCP is qemu+tcp://[USER]@[HOST]/system. QEMU and ssh is also supported but requires that the VDSM user is enabled and public/private keys must be generated for the VDSM user and exhanged with the libvirt server.	Story Points:	---

Description Derrick Ornelas 2016-01-27 20:38:02 UTC

Add ability to import RHEL KVM guest images directly into RHEV 

As of the latest version of libguestfs/virt-v2v there is no support for converting virtual machines running on RHEL KVM and copying them to a RHEV Export storage domain.  The feature was removed from libguestfs because no conversion is needed inside a guest already running on QEMU/KVM, and it was feared that the intrusive nature of the conversion process was an undue risk.  This decision means there is no supported way to get a RHEL KVM guest into a RHEV environment.  

Add an Import option to the RHEV UI that take RHEL KVM host information, connects to the host, lists guests, and allows the user to select with VM(s) to import.  The import should extract the VM info, create VM , create vdisk(s), and then copy disk image(s) to desired Data storage domain(s).

Comment 3 Michal Skrivanek 2016-01-29 11:41:02 UTC

note the scope of this feature is libvirt-based guests. Not plain disk files, nor "loose" qemu processes.

Comment 4 Moran Goldboim 2016-03-24 10:40:04 UTC

postponing to next version due to capacity reasons.

Comment 5 Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-05 14:00:32 UTC

Is this going to be in 4.0 or not? I see the patch is progressing.

Comment 6 Shahar Havivi 2016-05-05 14:36:30 UTC

Looks its going to make it

Comment 7 Yaniv Lavi 2016-05-05 15:18:05 UTC

should we move this back?
