Someone probably needs to write up a Xen to KVM conversion guide.
That would'be been a good idea. I just blew away the Xen to make the switch in the home lab tho
Well that was a big missed opportunity.

After removing the xstools, can’t qemu convert vhd to qcow2?

Reading through the site to get a grasp on changing over my XenServer installation to KVM.
This site? Good luck, lots to read from today.
Yep, this site. I've been following the posts from today pretty close. I currently manage XenServer with XO via web. Which is great, so I can see console, etc. I assume KVM has the same functionality?

Virt manager, not sure how it would be managed like XO

I would assume so. Have not done it.

Virt manager is good and easy to use.

Can it be managed from Windows or OSX, or is virt-manager old available on Linux installations?

KVM does have a web management interface, but I'm forgetting what it's called because I don't use it.

The one I'm aware of is called WebVirtMgr (https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr)... Looks like they're changing the branding, etc
I just RDP into my Mint18 box and run Virt-Manager from there.

Well that's doable. That's how I manage a Hyper-V box at the office. Open my Windows VM, and use HV manager from there. So very similar.

Maybe you need some kind of adapter then.
Like a howitzer

You can also pop a little Linux VM onto your desktop and do it that way, too.

Whew, I actually caught up with everything here today. (for now of course.)

Virt manager is good and easy to use.
QEMU can convert like almost anything to anything else. I've done a bunch. I haven't tried Xen.

Still going strong!

I'm not even trying to catch up, that would just be silly at this point.

@travisdh1 Well I can't keep up, I just finished my posting on SW and now ML is like all the sudden many posts!

catching up on SW was easy, only took a few minutes. They are so slow the last few days.

Cockpit has cockpit-machines you can install for the web interface.
You can also use Kimchi-project.
There's also that you can spin up an ovirt-engine VM and connect your KVM host to it (similar to using SCVMM).

@scottalanmiller Yes, that was easy took me 45 minutes, here I need to read more for context LOL
