Hello Rich,
Greetings!
It was great connecting with you and, I would like to thank you for your
time and being patient on answering all our queries.
However, referring to the link ->
http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v.1.html#how-virt-p2v-works we have a
ambiguity -> i.e. under the section "GUI INTERACTIVE CONFIGURATION" we have
"When you start virt-p2v, you'll see a graphical configuration dialog that
walks you through connection to the conversion server,"
Have a look at what I wrote here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-November/msg00015.html
which will show you how you can diagnose the real problem.
As of now we are using *virt-manager* to get this GUI INTERACTIVE
CONFIGURATION as we are not sure if this is the correct way of invoking GUI,
While you can use virt-manager for testing things, that's not the
correct way to run virt-p2v to convert a physical machine.
Rich.
Attaching the screen shots of the process till where we were
*successful
using the virt-manger*
It would be highly appreciated if you can let us know how we can invoke
this interactive GUI with-out virt-manager so that we could proceed further
with the conversion.
*Thanks & Regards,*

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