Re: [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?
