It seems that the RFE was addressed in 1302427 -- I'm not sure if this should be represented as a Depends / Blocks bug here... Hi Allan, Thanks for filing this bug. Documentation for the KVM import feature is being tracked in BZ#1386828. Currently there is a draft ready, just being finalised. Closing this bug as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1386828 *** |
Description of problem: We don't have any information about the requirements for the new feature allowing importing of KVM VMs from the VMs tab in RHV. From customer attempts, we've learned the following requirements exist: - Passwordless SSH must be configured between the vdsm user on the RHV hypervisor and the root user on the KVM server. # su -s /bin/bash vdsm # ssh-keygen # ssh-copy-id root@<KVM host> # virsh -c 'qemu+ssh://root@<KVMHOST>/system' list --all - VM NICs must have MAC addresses within the range managed by the RHEV environment - Running VMs are ignored. VM must not be running to be imported. - KVM guest storage must be available on the RHV Hypervisor performing the import if it's not a local image file. There seem to be other ways to do this import from this dialogue, but we haven't been able to determine what the requirements are and what is and is not supported.
