Yes - the virt-p2v-server man page is minimal just as you said. That's what threw me because I thought it had lots more documentation in the earlier version. I also checked man virt-v2v.conf and this has lots of documentation I was looking for, as you said. Thanks. And maybe I'm making things too complicated - the last time I tried this, I had to make up a virt-v2v.conf to run virt-p2v-server. Or something like that. But now with the new version, looking at the pre-built stock virt-v2v.conf, it looks like I can just try it without building or editing a .conf file. In my case, I want to migrate a Windows 2003 server and have it end up in a libvirt - not RHEV - environment. This 2003 server is running RHEV-M and I want it to become a libvirt guest in a RHEL 6.1 environment. So I have a Fedora 14 guest on the same host and I will temporarily share the storage for the 2003 P2V between the Fedora guest and the RHEL 6.1 host using NFS. It looks like I might have all the pieces together to try this tonight. And then eventually in a few months or so, I will move RHEV-M to run directly on the RHEL 6.1 host and retire the 2003 guest. - Greg -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Booth [mailto:mbooth@redhat.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 5:33 AM To: Richard W.M.

I just installed virt-v2v 0.8.3.1 on a Fedora 14 VM and was getting ready to set up a P2V migration. But the virt-p2v-server man pages only tell me about the GPL and that's it. Is the documentation for that .conf file someplace else now? Or don't I need it anymore?
Matt, any documentation that Greg should be looking at?
The config file is documented in man 5 virt-v2v.conf. virt-p2v-server *should* have a minimal man page telling you: =head1 NAME virt-p2v-server - Receive data from virt-p2v =head1 DESCRIPTION virt-p2v-server is invoked over SSH by virt-p2v. It is not intended to be run manually. Matt -- Matthew Booth, RHCA, RHCSS Red Hat Engineering, Virtualisation Team GPG ID: D33C3490 GPG FPR: 3733 612D 2D05 5458 8A8A 1600 3441 EA19 D33C 3490
