This was raised here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2019-June/msg00117.html Quoting from that: """ virt-convert takes an ovf/ova or vmx file and spits out libvirt XML. It started as a code drop a long time ago that could translate back and forth between vmx, ovf, and virt-image, a long dead appliance format. In 2014 I converted it to do vmx -> libvirt and ovf -> libvirt which was a CLI breaking change, but I never heard a peep of a complaint. It doesn't seem to do a particularly thorough job at its intended goal, I've seen 2-3 bug reports in the past 5 years and generally it doesn't seem to have any users. Let's kill it. If anyone has the desire to keep it alive it could live as a separate project that's a wrapper around virt-install but there's no compelling reason to keep it in virt-manager.git IMO """ Nothing has changed since then, so here is the removal.

# Virtual Machine Manager
|
|
|
|
`virt-manager` is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines
|
|
via [libvirt](https://libvirt.org). Most usage is with QEMU/KVM
|
|
virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well
|
|
supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.
|
|
|
|
Several command line tools are also provided:
|
|
|
|
- `virt-install`: Create new libvirt virtual machines
|
|
- `virt-clone`: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
|
|
- `virt-xml`: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML
|
|
|
|
For dependency info and installation instructions, see the
|
|
[INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) file. If you just want to quickly test the
|
|
code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./virt-manager --debug ...
|
|
```
