virt−convert − convert virtual machines between formats
virt-convert [ OPTION ]... INPUT .VMX|INPUT−DIR [ OUTPUT .XML|OUTPUT−DIR]
virt-convert is a command line tool for converting virtual machines from one format to another. Pass in either a VM definition file (such as VMWare vmx format) or a directory containing a VM . By default, a new VM definition file, and converted disk images, will be placed in a new output directory.
If an output directory is specified, it will be created if necessary, and the output VM definition placed within, along with any disk images as needed.
If an output VM definition file is specified, it will be created alongside any disks in the same directory.
Any of the
options can be omitted, in which case virt-convert
will use defaults when required. An input VM
definition or containing directory must be provided. By
default, an output directory is generated based upon the
name of the VM . The default input format is
VMWare vmx, and the default output format is a libvirt
"image" XML definition (see
virt−image(5)).
−h, −−help
Show the help message and exit
Conversion
Options
−i format
Input format. Currently, "vmx", "virt−image", and "ovf" are supported.
−o format
Output format. Currently, "vmx" and "virt−image" are supported.
−D format
Output disk format, or "none" if no conversion should be performed. See qemu−img(1).
Virtualization
Type options
Options to override the default virtualization type choices.
−v, −−hvm Create a fully virtualized guest
image
Convert machine to a hvm/qemu based image (this is the default if paravirt is not specified)
−p, −−paravirt Create a paravirtualized guest image
Convert machine to a paravirt xen based image
General
Options
General configuration parameters that apply to all types of
guest installs.
−a ARCH , −−arch=ARCH
Architecture of the virtual machine (i686, x86_64, ppc). Defaults to that of the host machine.
−−os−type=OS_TYPE
Optimize the guest configuration for a type of operating system (ex. ’linux’, ’windows’). This will attempt to pick the most suitable ACPI & APIC settings, optimally supported mouse drivers, virtio, and generally accommodate other operating system quirks. See virt−install(1) for valid values.
−−os−variant=OS_VARIANT
Further optimize the guest configuration for a specific operating system variant (ex. ’fedora8’, ’winxp’). This parameter is optional, and does not require an "−−os−type" to be specified. See virt−install(1) for valid values.
−−noapic
Override the OS type / variant to disables the APIC setting for fully virtualized guest.
−−noacpi
Override the OS type / variant to disables the ACPI setting for fully virtualized guest.
Miscellaneous
Options
−q, −−quiet
Avoid verbose output.
−d, −−debug
Print debugging information
−−dry−run
Proceed through the conversion process, but don’t convert disks or actually write any converted files.
Convert a paravirt guest from "image.vmx":
# virt−convert −−arch=i686 −−paravirt image.vmx
Convert a 64−bit hvm guest:
# virt−convert −−arch=x86_64 vmx−appliance/ hvm−appliance/
