Virt-manager: IDE disks
-
Is there a reason that you want it?
-
My KVM system still offers IDE, but we never select them.

I'm trying to import/convert an ova. The disks in the ova are IDE.

Backup and restore. You don't want IDE after the conversion anyway.

Backup? I only have the ova file. It's an appliance I downloaded.

Oh, you've not fired it up on another system yet? Ugh.

It's an ova that was exported from ESXi.

Right, but you don't have access to the ESXi system to take a backup.

I tried using virt-v2v to convert, for some odd reason, virt-v2v thinks the disks are virtio!!
-
I'm researching but not finding anything about virt-manager having made a change to remove IDE options. Their website has been dead for two years and there is no obvious change log in GitHub.

VirtIO is what you would want. I assume that the V2V process is failing, though?

Funny enough, v2v does not fail!

virt-v2v: This guest has virtio drivers installed. -

So you get a working VM? What's the issue then?

No working vm, vm will not boot, says it can't find the disks

xml file shows the disks as IDE.

Oh, so the V2V process fails then. That's what I meant. It didn't result in a working system.

@FATeknollogee in theory you can remap the drives manually
