Hi all,
Trying to figure out how virt-p2v works to convert an ubuntu. First, I do not understand
why do I need an ISO image to make it run ? Can you explain me quickly ? Can't I
directly use your source tarballs ?
Having a look in my RHN account, redhat6.3 is not out so no ISO to download yet.
By the way, the provided link
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/Virtual...
is 404.
Thank you for your help.

You want to P2V-convert an Ubuntu guest, right?
Or run the conversion process on an Ubuntu host?
Matt ^ do we support Ubuntu guests?

It looks like we moved it to a separate guide here:
https://docs.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single...
I'll fix the link.
The public docs don't cover virt-p2v because we've not released it in
RHEL yet (will be in RHEL 6.3).

For the second one, afaik no one has packaged virt-v2v on Ubuntu yet,
but it should be a simple matter.
For the first one, you may have to add support, assuming that it's not
supported already.
In both cases, check the upstream virt-v2v source.

virt-top is 'top' for virtual machines. Tiny program with many
powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.

Ubuntu host could probably work. However, there's no support at all for
Ubuntu guests. This will definitely not work. I would be very interested
if anybody did want to write a converter for Ubuntu, though.
