I currently need to migrate my system from VMWare to OLVM, but I can't find an option for instant recovery of a virtual machine from VMWare to OLVM. I also can't find anywhere I can use this feature to recover a virtual machine from one OLVM to another.

    Hi ​@vietdz! Instant Recovery isn't available with OLVM. You need to perform a regular restore from VMware to OLVM.

          Does anyone have any ideas for migrating VMware via Ovirt? I previously considered instant recovery, but it's not working now, and restoring the entire VM takes too long.
