Hello,
Not sure if this is the correct list so apologies if this question
is misplaced.
I tried migrating using virt-v2v a pair of Windows 2012R2 servers to
oVirt using Fedora22 as a p2v server and was happy to see that it
worked perfectly.
Note that Windows > 7 is not well tested. Make sure you keep backups
even if the conversion appears to go normally.
I notice however that the windows icon for "safe removal"
now
appears on the bottom right, and when I click it, apparently I can
"safely remove" my VirtIO NIC, a VirtIO serial device, and my VirtIO
disk!?!?!?! I tried it on the NIC as a test and unsurprisingly, I
lost all network communication to the host. I didn't try it on the
VirtIO disk because I didn't want to risk crashing my OS, however
this doesn't seem normal. The disk on which the system is running
can't be removable?!
How can I fix this?
You probably want to ask about this on the qemu mailing list, at
least that's according to:
