Q:

CentOS Virt-v2v conversion tool

I am trying to use the virt-v2v tool in CentOS for the conversion of virtual to virtual and eventually physical to virtual machines.  I am rather confused after spending a day trying to get the virt-2v2 converter set up and working. 
I am running CentOS 6.5, below are my reasons for confusion. 
I am attempting to convert a VMWare virtual machine, and I an confused about the concept of a "Storage Pool".  When I open virt-manager and go to the localhost connection details (qemu:///system) and go to the Storage tab, I can see that there is a default storage pool located at /var/lib/libvirt/images.  Is this basically a directory where images are stored? 
When I attempt to use the virt0-v2v command as follows:
virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -osd /var/lib/libvirt/images Windows7.xml

Where windows7 xml is an xml file generated with the Vmware2libvirt tool.  
I am told that /var/lib/libvirt/images is not a valid storage pool.  Perhaps there is something I am doing wrong when issuing this command.  Please forgive my ignorance, I am very new to virtualization and server management in general. 

A:

You should use the name of the storage pool, not the path to it.  You can get your storage pool names with virsh pool-list.  You should have one named default.
