3.3.3. Importing and Running the Converted Virtual Machine

On successful completion, virt-v2v will upload the exported virtual machine to the specified export domain. To import and run the converted virtual machine:
  1. In the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization administration portal, select the export domain from the Storage tab.
  2. Open the VM Import tab, select the appropriate virtual machine and click Import.
  3. The Import Virtual Machine(s) dialog will display. Select the appropriate Destination Cluster and Destination Storage, then click OK. The import process will run in the background and may take several minutes. While it is running, the imported virtual machine will appear in the Virtual Machines tab with a status of Image Locked. You can monitor the status of the import operation from the Events tab.
  4. When the import completes, the status will move to Down and the VM can be manually started.
For more information on importing virtual machines, see the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Administration Guide.
Network Configuration
virt-v2v cannot currently reconfigure a virtual machine's network configuration. If the converted virtual machine is not connected to the same subnet as the source, its network configuration may have to be updated.
