I should have this in my head by now...
I tried migrating a physical Windows host last night using virt-p2v CD.
It ran for 3 hours and then died. I'll get details later from the log
but as I think about it, I'll bet it died because I never installed
virtio-win in my Fedora migration server.
The documentation says do "yum install virtio-win" - but this is RHEL
documentation and my migration server is a Fedora 14 VM and yum doesn't
find it from there. Where do I grab virtio-win and how do I set it up
on that Fedora system such that virt-p2v-server will find it and use it
during a Windows P2V migration?
We don't have an RPM for Fedora. It wouldn't be possible to add this
to Fedora right now since we cannot yet cross-compile it from source
using a completely Free toolchain. In future we probably will be able
to do this with mingw64.
The latest virtio-win ISO images are here:
