I don't know if this is the right list. But we need urgently, I mean,
the whole industry needs urgently, tat qemu-img learns to convert ESX
5.X images, and it does not.
I am like probably thousands trying to get rid of Vmware in the
Enterprise, this would help a lot.

I've experienced issues with 5.x images in older versions, but the "latest" version on, say Fedora 19 (1.4.2) does so just fine. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Your attached image indicates the guest VM started booting but failed at some point, probably when trying to mount the root partition. The format conversion appears to have worked, but it's not going to fiddle the internals of the image if it was dependent on something specific to VMware. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Telling from the file name, this vmdk file should be in fact a "raw" disk and the conversion shouldn't be a problem (you can use `xxd -l 512 Neustar-flat.vmdk` to see if it's simply an MBR, or containing "KDMV" magic in the first bytes). It might be the guest OS driver or configuration that don't automatically work on kvm. How did you export this vmdk from ESX, what's the guest OS, and what's your command line to boot it?

I didn't expect you could, but it's a kernel panic after the tail end of what appears to be a mount failure (http://imagebin.org/280445 for others' sake). The guest system has hit dracut, so it's already well into the booting process by the time this image was captured, indicating the image converted successfully and is likely failing from some hard configuration internal to the image that relies on ESX semantics. I'm guessing root= or the root entry in /etc/fstab, neither of which are something qemu-img is going to touch. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

There are tools for v2v migration: http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v/ "virt-v2v converts virtual machines from Xen and VMware hypervisors to run on KVM."
