Greetings Richard,
Thanks for the pointer. It was helpful. (Note: We have 2 physical machines,
one is p2v machine & the other is conversion server. Both the machines have
been updated with "*yum install qemu libvirt-client virt-manager
virt-viewer guestfish libguestfs-tools virt-top*")
We have couple of questions for the exact functioning of virt-p2v:
1. We are unable to locate the following command for injecting the ssh
private key of p2v machine:
*virt-p2v-make-kickstart p2v.ks --inject-ssh-identity id_rsa*
*virt-p2v-make-kickstart: unrecognized option '--inject-ssh-identity'*
This is a new (and useful) feature, but I'm afraid it's not available
until RHEL 7.3 or Fedora >= 24.
2. *Further we are also unable to find any executable
"virt-p2v" on the
p2v machine*
You shouldn't run virt-p2v directly. You have to boot the ISO on the
physical machine.
3. *We are able to view the virt-p2v in GUI mode, only after
booting the
hardware using the ISO image, generated on p2v machine (The hardware used
for booting is the same physical p2v machine). Is this the right way? We
are observing the following error:*
I'm not clear what this paragraph means.
*Would you be able to provide us with exact steps required to
implement the
virt-p2v? *
It's all described here:
