Pulling a VMWare VM requires the VM to be powered off, root password to the vmware host and vmware name of the VM itself. It will get copied and converted automagically.<br>

oVirt looks nice... I just wish it supported Xen or XenServer.<br>

I have multiple hosts tied to a single ovirt head and some standalone<br>
head/host combo systems.<br>
<br>
It works. VMWare should be worried. They should also be porting their<br>
windows only management console to web GUI as fast as possible.<br>
<br>
One Issue solved in next release is integration with IPA. 3.4 broke<br>
something working in 3.2. 3.5 is in pre-release and is fixed. It allows<br>
authenticated users to fully control their VMs power up and down and<br>
provision new ones from templates up to their usage limits.<br>
<br>
The back end is KVM and is rock solid. Memory sharing and thin provision<br>
storage are excellent.<br>
