need to cover:
1. P2V client doesn't launch (including boot failure)
2. P2V client fails.
The main problem, of course, is where to put it...
We had pretty much the same problem with the old virt-p2v too. That
used to save a log file into /tmp (on the ramdisk), and gave users a
shell on one of the virtual consoles (Alt + F2 etc) so that users
could switch to that shell and scp the debug file elsewhere. It
wasn't exactly an ideal solution.
