8:48 a.m.
It looks to me that the windows 2008 image I am attempting to convert is
not being detected as windows but is being updated as a Linux system.
When PXE booted the server with the p2v image I ended up with this
error:
Failed to launch guestfs appliance. Try running again with
LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 for more information
The system image transferred and I was able to create an XML file to
boot it under kvm with IDE disks.
I undefined it and attempted to convert the system into another storage
pool to help in the debugging and I ended up with the same error.
This is what I ran:
LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1 virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -os
external --network default window2008_r1.xml 2>&1 | tee virt-v2v.log
This is the log file that was produced:

I redefined the guest and I ran this:
