  • How to perform oVirt V2P Conversion with Vinchin?

Virtual-to-Physical (V2P) migration lets you move a virtual machine from a virtualization platform to a physical server. This means the VM’s operating system, applications, and data will run directly on hardware instead of inside a hypervisor. Organizations often choose V2P when they need better performance, want to use specific hardware features, or must meet compliance requirements that call for physical servers.

Vinchin Backup & Recovery makes V2P simple for many platforms, including oVirt virtual machines. Supported source platforms are VMware ESXi/vCenter, Hyper-V, oVirt, RHV, OLVM, Proxmox VE, XenServer/XCP-ng, Sangfor HCI, Huawei Fusion Compute/H3C CAS/UIS/Arcfra/KayGrid/InCloud Sphere/FusionOne Compute/ZStack/OpenStack. With Vinchin’s image-based backup and dedicated recovery ISO tools, you can migrate your oVirt VM to a physical server quickly and with minimal downtime.

How to perform oVirt V2P Conversion with Vinchin?

The general 4 steps to perform oVirt V2P are as follows,

Step 1. Back up the oVirt virtual machine with Vinchin Backup & Recovery

Step 2. Generate a recovery boot image from the VM backup

Step 3. Download the boot image and use it to start the target physical machine

Step 4. Perform a bare-metal restore of the VM backup onto the physical machine
