[Qemu-discuss] VMWare to KVM does not boot SCSI

[Oscar Segarra]

Hi,

In my enviroment I have created a new VM Centos 7.3 in VMWare Workstation
12 with SCSI controller (just the only one selectable):

[image: Imágenes integradas 1]

Then I convert the vmdk to qcow2 and I install the VM using virt-install:

virt-install --import --name vdiccalamari2 --ram 512 --vcpus 1 --controller
type=scsi,model=virtio-scsi --disk
/opt/vdicube/repository/vdictemplate.qcow2,device=disk,format=qcow2,cache=directsync,
*bus=scsi* --network network:public,model=virtio,mac=52:54:00:a0:50:10
--network bridge=interconnect,model=virtio,mac=52:54:00:a0:A0:10
--os-type=linux --os-variant=centos7.0 --graphics
spice,listen=0.0.0.0,keymap=es --accelerate --noautoconsole.

But, when I startup the imported guest, It gets stuck:

The command line:

Nolthing appears in logs.

Any help will be welcome!

Thanks a lot.

PD: I have made the same test with Oracle Virtualbox (which uses IDE and
guest starts pefectly).
