Re: [Libguestfs] Another virt-p2v blew up
I just checked the versions on the conversion server:
[root@Fedora16-64P2V ~]# rpm -qa | grep libguestfs
python-libguestfs-1.14.2-1.fc16.x86_64
libguestfs-tools-c-1.14.2-1.fc16.x86_64
libguestfs-tools-1.14.2-1.fc16.x86_64
libguestfs-1.14.2-1.fc16.x86_64
[root@Fedora16-64P2V ~]#
[root@Fedora16-64P2V ~]#
[root@Fedora16-64P2V ~]# rpm -qa | grep v2v
virt-v2v-0.8.5-1.fc16.x86_64
[root@Fedora16-64P2V ~]#
As it turns out, that source physical machine was upgraded in place from Windows 2000
several years ago. We've also had problems using the approach with ntbackup and
restore. So tonight we're trying with Acronis Universal Restore.

I may have an idea why this one blew up. This source machine
apparently does not have a c:\windows directory. Instead, Windows is loaded into
c:\Winnt.
Looks like the p2v error was "guestfsd: error: windows: no file or directory found
with this name" I wonder if it was looking for c:\Windows and instead found
c:\Winnt?
Which version of virt-v2v and libguestfs is this?
libguestfs should detect \winnt as the %systemroot%. You can check
by doing:
virt-inspector2 Guest | grep -i systemroot

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
