Once you've done that you can fill in the name, # of cpus, memory, etc. Are you able to get far enough that you even get this screen? http://i.imgur.com/TGggl.jpg -----Original Message----- From: Greg Scott [mailto:GregScott@Infrasupport.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 3:44 PM To: Richard W.M. Jones Cc: Brian Gold; libguestfs@redhat.com Subject: RE: [Libguestfs] Trying to use virt-p2v Well, progress but I'm not there yet. Here are the steps: On my RHEL6.1 host - I set up a 250 GB logical volume and put an ext4 filesystem on it and set it up as an NFS share. I mounted it in the F14 guest, so now I have somewhere to put the stuff from the F14 guest point of view. The resulting VM images will end up as files in a filesystem instead of LVM LVs, but I can live with that. On the F14 VM, I did yum install rubygem-virt-p2v and yum install rubygem-virt-p2v-doc. And now man virt-p2v-server has some text. On my Windows server, booted from the virt-p2v CD - I connected to the Fedora VM at IP Address 10.10.10.104 and passed the root credentials. This time it logged in, but immediately complained there are no profiles in virt-v2v.conf. So back to the virt-p2v-server man pages, I inserted these lines near the bottom: <profile name='Temp2003'> <method>libvirt</method> <storage /mnt/EOCHSTemp2003 format='raw' allocation='sparse'>default</storage> <network type='bridge' name='br0'> </network> </profile> Back to my source server, Connect to the conversion server, and . . . it hangs. The mouse cursor moves, but now everything is greyed out, no files are being created, and the only network traffic is me watching with iptraf. -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.

Oh man, so close!

So is rubygem-virt-p2v the piece I'm missing?
Sorry I meant to try all this out today but I got sidetracked. I'm definitely going to look at virt-p2v and/or fix it tomorrow. Hopefully Matt will be able to help us too. As a side note, latest version should be 0.8.3.
