Thanks a lot for your awesome support Richard.

"test connection" worked after we configured the necessary IP details but the "Conversion" ends with status as 1 with the below error message: (PFA of the complete logs stored on conversion server under "/tmp/virt-v2v-***" directory)

/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory

WARNING: Failed to connect to lvmetad. Falling back to internal scanning.

Error: The device /dev/null is so small that it cannot possibly store a file system or partition table. Perhaps you selected the wrong device?

Warning: Error fsyncing/closing /dev/null: Invalid argument

parted -m -s -- /dev/sda unit b print

Converting cattleprod to run on KVM

virt-v2v: error: virt-v2v is unable to convert this guest type

(linux/debian)

Could you please help us as I think we are at the last stage. Appreciate your support.

Thanks,

Praveen.

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.

Rich.
