Does anyone have an idea what this error message means?  This was waiting on the console this morning after running a conversion last night using the virt-p2v CD 0.8.3.1:

 

Inspect_os:  cannot resolve Windows %SYSTEMROOT% at /usr/share/perl5/sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 187, <> line 7.

 

Thanks

Is there a reference to a log file on that console?

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?

 

Thanks
