[Libguestfs] P2V: Error while converting Windows server
Hi,
I'm trying to do a physical-to-virtual migration for a Windows 2003
Server to RHEV 3.0 and I'm getting errors in the conversion.
I created a Virt-P2V.iso using Fedora 16 (i686) using virt-v2v-0.8.7 and
virt-p2v-image-builder-0.8.7 instead of the 0.8.5 version available in
the repos. The conversion server is the same server where I created the ISO.
I edited the /etc/virt-v2v.conf file to configure a RHEV 3.0 Export
Domain as the target:
<virt-v2v>
<profile name="rhev-sparse">
<method>rhev</method>
<storage format='qcow2' allocation='sparse'>
192.168.1.11:/RHEV/export
</storage>
<network type="default">
<network type="network" name="rhevm"/>
</network>
</profile>
<network type='network' name='default'>
<network type='network' name='rhevm'/>
</network>
</virt-v2v>
I created the RHEV Export Domain and I activated it.
I booted the physical server with the Virt-P2V ISO and entered the
conversion server information. I choosed the "rhev-sparse" method and
let the other parameters by default.
The sda hard disk begins to get transfered and after some minutes I get
this error in the virt-p2v-server log:
# cat virt-p2v-server.1333661869.log
virt-v2v: pwrite_device: pwrite_device: offset is negative at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 203,
<> line 6.
at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/Transfer/Local.pm line 271
The transfer file gets deleted in the NFS export 192.168.1.11:/RHEV/export
I tried changing the conversion method to "preallocated" by putting this
in the config file:
<profile name="rhev-preallocated">
<method>rhev</method>
<storage format='raw' allocation='preallocated'>
192.168.1.11:/RHEV/export
</storage>
<network type="default">
<network type="network" name="rhevm"/>
</network>
</profile>
It obviously takes longer to transfer to the conversion server, but
after a few hour it gives me this error in the virt-p2v-server log:
# cat /var/log/virt-p2v-server.1333670581.log
warning: Unable to get device geometry for /var/tmp/guestfs.9vgHe0/root
virt-v2v: Died at /usr/bin/virt-p2v-server line 394, <> line 7.
Any ideas?
