I tried using virt-v2v to convert, for some odd reason, virt-v2v thinks the disks are virtio!!

Is there a reason that you want it?

I'm trying to import/convert an ova. The disks on 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.

What version are you on?

v2.1.0

Am I dreaming or IDE disks are not supported any more?
I could have sworn IDE disks used to be in Virt-manager, now I can't find them!!

@dyasny said in Ovirt:

I can help you with the setup (been working with oVirt from before it was even called ovirt), but you have to answer my points in the other topic

I'm doing an oVirt install right now.

Why not fork that out as a build thread?
I'm sure lots of peeps would be interested!

@FATeknollogee that really depends on your cluster size. If you can afford to dedicate a separate host to it, then why not.

You mean a separate host where the HE vm lives on?

Yes, it's your choice whether to do it in a VM though, it can be on baremetal

Is doing it in a vm bad? That would be my choice unless there is some compelling reason to do it baremetal.

@dyasny Next time I do HE, I think I'll install it as a separate VM instead of the vm inside a vm approach.

@dyasny What are you deploying as a standalone VM? I thought you said no HE?

@dyasny What do you lose without HE?
Without HE does it become a manual setup where one can't use Cockpit to setup?

@dyasny The 300 host install you mentioned in the other thread is non-HE?

@dyasny Wow, wow....no Hosted Engine? How come everyone keeps pushing HE?
Why no HE?

@dyasny That's def interesting...
What was the connectivity between most of those 300 hosts? Was DNS used or just IP addresses?

@dyasny said in Virt-Manager on multiple pc's:

When you have more than just a few hosts, even spread out across multiple sites, managing them with virt-manager can be painful. You definitely should start looking at something a bit more scalable, like RHV/oVirt

What if all the hosts are all standalone instances?

@dyasny What are you doing w drovirt?

The "open web address on remote PC" will work for now.

What's the trick to copy/paste?

Let's talk product...
What product is available to accomplish said task?
Said product should be easy to setup & configure & not require a PhD.
