Next week: KVM Forum / LinuxCon NA / CloudOpen / ContainerCon
I'm at the KVM Forum in Seattle, WA, USA next week which is co-located with LinuxCon and a few other conferences. You can come and see my talk on virt-v2v on Thursday afternoon: http://kvmforum2015.sched.org/event/5a1b498c900594037c817746ecc08089 The full schedule of talks is here: http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/program/schedule Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests. http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v
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. 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? Thanks, M.

Note that Windows > 7 is not well tested. Make sure you keep backups even if the conversion appears to go normally.

You probably want to ask about this on the qemu mailing list, at least that's according to: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Windows_Virtio_Drivers#Bugs Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-df lists disk usage of guests without needing to install any software inside the virtual machine.
