The error message says "End of File" It's all good up to step 6. Step 7 is a bug in virt-p2v, where it doesn't reveal the real error message (see BZ# that I previously posted). However you can try to diagnose the real problem: In the virt-p2v GUI, press Ctrl+Alt+F1. This should give you a root shell. If you need to log in, use root with the password p2v Then do: ssh root@name-of-v2v-conversion-server and fix any problem that may be stopping you from ssh-ing to the conversion server. Once you've fixed those, the 'test connection' button should work.
