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.
