      Is there a reason that you want it?

      I'm trying to import/convert an ova. The disks in the ova are IDE.

        Backup and restore. You don't want IDE after the conversion anyway.

          Backup? I only have the ova file. It's an appliance I downloaded.

            Oh, you've not fired it up on another system yet? Ugh.

              It's an ova that was exported from ESXi.

                Right, but you don't have access to the ESXi system to take a backup.

                  I tried using virt-v2v to convert, for some odd reason, virt-v2v thinks the disks are virtio!!

                    I'm researching but not finding anything about virt-manager having made a change to remove IDE options. Their website has been dead for two years and there is no obvious change log in GitHub.

                      VirtIO is what you would want. I assume that the V2V process is failing, though?

                        Funny enough, v2v does not fail!

                            So you get a working VM? What's the issue then?

                                    Oh, so the V2V process fails then. That's what I meant. It didn't result in a working system.

                                      @FATeknollogee in theory you can remap the drives manually 🙂

                                            Kinda, they have an appliance (prepackaged ova exported from ESXi), I was going to test it.

                                            Quicker than installing the app from scratch.
