Greetings Richard,
To add to the above information, we are following the understated steps:
1. We have 2 BL460c (Gen8) with Fedora 21 installed. Both the
machines(BL1 & BL2) have been updated with virt-v2v packages
2. On BL1, we execute the following commands:
1. virt-p2v-make-kickstart fedora
2. livecd-creator p2v.ks
3. After creating the "livecd-p2v-2xxxxxx.iso" file, we launch the
'virt-manager', from BL1
4. Create a new virtual machine using the 'File' option
5. Click on 'Begin Installation' after step 4
6. User is shown the 'Conversion Server' GUI login screen
7. Enter the credentials & click on 'Test Connection with Conversion
Server'
8. 'Next' button is enabled
9. Click on 'Create p2v' and after sometime, the process is exited with
status "-1"
10. The earlier attached log file is generated in BL2 (conversion
server) under /tmp/virt-XXXX directory
Hope it helps to solve the issue.
Regards,
Ravi Chaudhary

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your replay,
We are using Fedora 21 with SAS drive and RAID 0 config on both Physical
and conversion server.
Thanks,
Tejas
