You can come and see my talk on virt-v2v on Thursday afternoon:

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.

New subject: Virtio devices as removable?
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:
