virt-v2v-support - Supported hypervisors, virtualization management systems and guests in virt-v2v
This page documents which foreign hypervisors, virtualization management systems and guest types that virt-v2v(1) can support.
Note this page applies to upstream virt-v2v from http://libguestfs.org and in downstream distributions of virt-v2v sometimes features are intentionally removed, or are present but not supported.
QEMU and KVM only.
Currently NT 5.2 to NT 6.3 are supported.
See "WINDOWS" below for additional notes on converting Windows guests.
BIOS is supported for all guest types and hypervisors.
VMware allows you to present UEFI firmware to guests (instead of the ordinary PC BIOS). Virt-v2v can convert these guests, but requires that UEFI is supported by the target hypervisor.
Currently KVM supports OVMF, an open source UEFI firmware, and can run these guests.
Since OVMF support was only recently added to KVM (in 2014/2015), not all target environments support UEFI guests yet:
