In fact, `openstack` is one of the targets of `virt-v2v`. According
to the file `p2v/conversion.c`, function `generate_wrapper_script`,
the output mode of `virt-v2v` can be set to `glance`. The manpage of
`virt-v2v` claims

But even if `-o glance` was appropriate, there's no provision for
setting additional command line flags such as `-oo …` in order to
set up the server id, authentication and other conversion options.
Does the conversion to OpenStack work in any setup? Has it
reportedly ever worked? What needs to be done to get it working?
Yes, the -o openstack mode does work and is used routinely.
However virt-p2v needs additional work in order to support -o
openstack, currently you can only convert to a flat image and then
import that.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into KVM guests.
