Re: [Libguestfs] Trying to use virt-p2v

I tried installing the 0.8.3.1 stuff, but the first RPM I tried had a couple of dependencies and I ran out of time to chase those down. I am under the gun on this one - I have to get this system migrated and back at the colo site. It was supposed to be turned around by this afternoon so now I'm very late and won't get it back until tomorrow afternoon. I gave up on virt-p2v for this one and I'm doing by hand with an old-fashioned Windows backup and restore to a fresh VM. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: libguestfs-bounces(a)redhat.com [mailto:libguestfs-bounces@redhat.com] On Behalf Of Greg Scott Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 3:09 PM To: Brian Gold; Richard W.M.

Once you've done that you can fill in the name, # of cpus, memory, etc. Are you able to get far enough that you even get this screen? http://i.imgur.com/TGggl.jpg -----Original Message----- From: Greg Scott [mailto:GregScott@Infrasupport.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 3:44 PM To: Richard W.M. Jones Cc: Brian Gold; libguestfs(a)redhat.com Subject: RE: [Libguestfs] Trying to use virt-p2v Well, progress but I'm not there yet. Here are the steps: On my RHEL6.1 host - I set up a 250 GB logical volume and put an ext4 filesystem on it and set it up as an NFS share. I mounted it in the F14 guest, so now I have somewhere to put the stuff from the F14 guest point of view. The resulting VM images will end up as files in a filesystem instead of LVM LVs, but I can live with that. On the F14 VM, I did yum install rubygem-virt-p2v and yum install rubygem-virt-p2v-doc. And now man virt-p2v-server has some text. On my Windows server, booted from the virt-p2v CD - I connected to the Fedora VM at IP Address 10.10.10.104 and passed the root credentials. This time it logged in, but immediately complained there are no profiles in virt-v2v.conf. So back to the virt-p2v-server man pages, I inserted these lines near the bottom: <profile name='Temp2003'> <method>libvirt</method> <storage /mnt/EOCHSTemp2003 format='raw' allocation='sparse'>default</storage> <network type='bridge' name='br0'> </network> </profile> Back to my source server, Connect to the conversion server, and . . . it hangs. The mouse cursor moves, but now everything is greyed out, no files are being created, and the only network traffic is me watching with iptraf. -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.

I'm definitely going to look at virt-p2v and/or fix it tomorrow. Hopefully Matt will be able to help us too. As a side note, latest version should be 0.8.3.
