How to migrate KVM based VMs running in LVM setup to Vmdk images
- by Bond
I am using KVM on Ubuntu Server 10.04. and Virtual Machines are running on it in LVM.
I have to migrate some of them to Vmware server.How can I achieve this?
I searched and came across some links but they all talked converting vmdk images to qcow or so.In this case I have OS in LVM.
I also looked at man page of qemu-img and as I understand it should do what I am asking in this thread. But how exactly should I proceed in this case.Since it is not a file based image (OS running in an LVM which has filesystem in that LVM).
So I am not able to understand what should I be doing to achieve the same.
Can I achieve the above with snapshots of LVMs rather than shutting down the VM itself.
