Hi there,
Is there possiable that virt-p2v can convert Physical computer online? Which means do not
reboot or start it through U disk.
Do we have plan on this, is there any other tool can do this?
Thanks

This isn't possible with virt-p2v and cannot be done in general
(because the hardware and virtual devices change underneath the kernel).

Is this quite normal? Which means Microsoft's VSS is a castle on the sand beach?

I don't know what you mean.
Windows have a feature named VSS, It's safe to clone disk when system is online.
I just wonder how they process those data changed under the kernel.

That's completely different from what P2V does.
