Re: [Libguestfs] P2V conversion failed with "/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory"

Greetings Richard, To add to the above information, we are following the understated steps: 1. We have 2 BL460c (Gen8) with Fedora 21 installed. Both the machines(BL1 & BL2) have been updated with virt-v2v packages 2. On BL1, we execute the following commands: 1. virt-p2v-make-kickstart fedora 2. livecd-creator p2v.ks 3. After creating the "livecd-p2v-2xxxxxx.iso" file, we launch the 'virt-manager', from BL1

4. Create a new virtual machine using the 'File' option 5. Click on 'Begin Installation' after step 4 6. User is shown the 'Conversion Server' GUI login screen 7. Enter the credentials & click on 'Test Connection with Conversion Server' 8. 'Next' button is enabled 9. Click on 'Create p2v' and after sometime, the process is exited with status "-1" 10. The earlier attached log file is generated in BL2 (conversion server) under /tmp/virt-XXXX directory Hope it helps to solve the issue.
