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).
note the scope of this feature is libvirt-based guests. Not plain disk files, nor "loose" qemu processes.
postponing to next version due to capacity reasons.
Is this going to be in 4.0 or not? I see the patch is progressing.
Looks its going to make it
should we move this back?
