Hello,

I am trying to convert a physical server (10 year old hardware with PCI LSI Loging / Symbios LSI MegaRAID controller and SCSI drives, RAID 5 Configuration) into a Virtual Machine in oVirt (oVirt Version 4.1.8). Host to be converted has Fedora 5 OS.

I have downloaded the virt-p2v.iso (Cent OS 7.3). I have prepared the conversion server, set it up as a VM in oVirt environment. I am able to boot the physical server with virt-p2v.iso. I am able to connect to conversion server. But none of the Hard Disks are listed to select for conversion.

I opine, probably it is something to do with SCSI / RAID Card drivers.

Is there a way I can get these drivers into virt-p2v.iso? Or do we get an old virt-p2v.iso that can recognise the hard disks of this 10 year old server? Any suggestions to get this task to completion?

Yes, we had the same problem converting a similar machine: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1414505 To cut a long story short I made live CDs based on RHEL 5 and RHEL 6, and hopefully one of those should recognize the disks of the server: http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/RHEL-7.3/ These will interoperate with the normal virt-v2v on the conversion server, so you don't need to change the virt-v2v side.
