Hi Richard,

We have generated .iso on Physical server and tried booting same with "livecd-p2v-*.iso", and we are getting "unexpected end of file waiting for password prompt" error. Also we are  not able to execute "/sbin/ifconfig" or "ip a" binaries on Physical server after booting from livecd.

We have attached "p2v.ks" file and "livecd-creator p2v.ks" logs for your reference. Hope it might be helpful. 

Thanks,
Tejas

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,"

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,

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,

And by "server", of course I mean the virt-v2v conversion server.
