Hi Girija, I think that you can convert image files from XenServer to KVM (qcow2): http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_converting.html Then you can create the image manually: http://docs.openstack.org/image-guide/content/ch_creating_images_manually.html You can also looking at: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/XenServer Hope this help Regards Abs. *Robson Ramos Barreto* IT / INFRASTRUCTURE ANALYST *Phone:* *+55 11 95239-3299* * E-mail:* *robson.rbarreto at gmail.com* <robson.rbarreto at gmail.com> * Skype:* *robson.rbarreto* <robson.rbarreto at gmail.com> * Find me on:* [image: http://br.linkedin.com/in/robsonrbarreto/] <http://br.linkedin.com/in/robsonrbarreto/> 2015-05-21 15:17 GMT-03:00 Bob Ball <bob.ball at citrix.com>: > Hi Girija, > > > > I can’t help with converting XenServer VMs to KVM but can I ask why > running XenServer under your OpenStack cloud isn’t considered an option? > > > > Clearly there are some differences with VM setup (e.g. the VM may be set > up to use a specific disk name which won’t be present if you move to use > the virtio interface) that might make it difficult to move an existing VM > between any two hypervisors.
