2.3.2. Virtualized to Virtualized Migration (V2V)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 provides tools for converting virtual machines from other types of hypervisors to KVM. The virt-v2v tool converts and imports virtual machines from Xen, other versions of KVM, VMware ESX, and Hyper-V.

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and later, the virt-v2v tool converts and imports virtual machines with virtual disk image formats including VHDX, VMDK, OVF, raw, and qcow2.
