<div>Dear all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have a problem converting the partition from my physical disk using virt-p2v.</div>
<div><br/>
If I use the "default" configuration***, virt-p2v tries to convert the whole disk (500GB) to an image file (which get's the same size and is too big to handle for me).<br/>
My primary partition is only 210 GB (incl. 40 GB free space), so my goal would be to have an image file with 210 GB max.<br/>
I got some information that it should be possible to create an image first and transfer the data to the image file then.<br/>
I amanged to create the image file (# sudo qemu-img create -f raw /var/lib/libvirt/images/vm01.img 220G) but I don't know how to go on.<br/>
When I use the "default" configuration (with the default storage pool), it creates a new file (named "-sda" at the end and no file extension).<br/>
When I change the configuration to use "<storage format="raw" allocation="sparse">/var/lib/libvirt/images/vm01.img</storage>" or similar, I get the error<br/>
"output pool /var/lib/libvirt/images/vm01 is not a valid storage pool".<br/>
I also had a look on creating a new storage pool (via virt-manager), but I didn't find a solution.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please help me figure this one out!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,<br/>
Juergen</div>

<div>***the configuration in the /etc/virt-v2v.config file is the following:</div>
<div><profile name=kvm1></div>
<div><method>libvirt</method></div>
<div><storage format="raw" allocation="sparse">default</storage></div>
<div><network type="default"></div>
<div> <network type="network" name="default"/></div>
