A vendor provides a virtual appliance as an OVF package. The administrator needs to deploy it on a KVM host. What is the first step to make the disk usable?

Run qemu-img convert on the OVF file

Extract the OVF package and convert the disk image to qcow2

Mount the OVF file as a disk image

Import the OVF directly into KVM using virt-manager

A company is virtualizing a physical server that runs a legacy application. The application is sensitive to disk geometry changes. The administrator wants to create a virtual disk that preserves the exact sector layout of the physical disk. Which approach should be used?

Use guestfish to copy the files to a new image

Use virt-p2v to convert the physical machine

Use qemu-img convert to create a qcow2 image

Use dd to create a raw image of the physical disk
