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

Looking a bit more closely, virt-v2v seems to have trouble seeing
anything at all on the source disk.  So something may have gone badly
wrong.  Tell me about what OS you expect the source (physical) machine
to have, and also something about what hardware it is using for its
disks (SCSI? RAID? etc).

Rich.
