Conversion

+ +
+
Poor mans p2v
+
+ A simple approach for converting a physical machine to a virtual + machine, using a rescue CD. +
+
virt-p2v
+
+ An older tool for converting a physical machine into a virtual + machine. It is a LiveCD which is booted on the machine to be + converted. It collects a little information from the user, then + copies the disks over to a remote machine and defines the XML for a + domain to run the guest. +
+
virt-v2v
+
+ virt-v2v converts guests from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM, + managed by libvirt. It can currently convert Red Hat Enterprise + Linux (RHEL) and Fedora guests running on Xen and VMware ESX. It + will enable VirtIO drivers in the converted guest if possible. +
+
+ For RHEL customers of Red Hat, conversion of Windows guests is also + possible. This conversion requires some Microsoft signed pieces, + that Red Hat can provide. +
+
vmware2libvirt
+
+ A Python script for migrating a vmware image to libvirt. +
