Re: [Libguestfs] P2V using 2 physical machines - Fedora OS installed on both

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. On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 5:26 AM, Richard W.M.
