of the guest to create and the number of virtual CPUs to give it.
How do we start virt-p2v on a fedora 21
What you need to do is to make or download a virt-p2v ISO, and boot
the physical machine using that.
You can make the ISO by following the instructions here:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v-make-disk.1.html
http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v-make-kickstart.1.html
but you may find it easier to download one that we provide:
http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/Fedora-22/
or http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/RHEL-7.2-preview/
You cannot run the virt-p2v program directly on the source physical
machine. It has to be booted off the ISO.
