Can we convert any physical computers to virtual using virt-v2v?
Many a times, you must have thought whether it is possible to convert a physical computer to a virtual system using virt-v2v. It depends on the physical system configuration. I have tested converting many physical computers and it worked absolutely fine. However, there are some restrictions that apply to P2V. To perform a P2V conversion, your physical system must have the following prerequisites:
- They must have at least 512 MB of RAM.
- They cannot have any volumes larger than 2040 GB.
- virt-v2v supports P2V conversion for computers based on the x86 or x86_64 architecture. You won't able able convert computers with Itanium architecture–based operating systems.
- Computers with their root filesystem root on a software RAID md device cannot be converted to virtual machines.
- The operating system installed on the computer must be supported to run as a guest on KVM.
- They must have at least one Ethernet connection.
