OK the Windows "argument list too long" thing should be fixed by hivex-1.3.10-5.7.el7 which is in the usual place.

But as usual, I won't be able to test them on the real server before tonight (production server). For your information, when this conversion will run smoothly, I will have lots of other servers to convert, so your work will get intensively tested and very appreciated. -- Nicolas Ecarnot

When completed, the import into oVirt went fine, but booting lead to a BSOD, which I corrected by merging mergeide.reg into the source machine and starting the whole process again. Then I fine tuned it by installing the dedicated virt drivers (virtio, net, scsi) and it eventually worked. I guess the success key was that very last release of the packages coming from the libguestfs-RHEL-7.1-preview.repo repo : [root@serv-p2v-adm1 etc]# tail -8 /var/log/yum.log Nov 21 08:19:52 Updated: hivex-1.3.10-5.7.el7.x86_64 Nov 21 08:19:53 Updated: perl-hivex-1.3.10-5.7.el7.x86_64 Nov 21 08:19:53 Updated: 1:libguestfs-1.28.1-1.13.el7.x86_64 Nov 21 08:19:54 Updated: 1:libguestfs-tools-c-1.28.1-1.13.el7.x86_64 Nov 21 08:19:54 Updated: 1:perl-Sys-Guestfs-1.28.1-1.13.el7.x86_64 Nov 21 08:19:54 Updated: 1:libguestfs-tools-1.28.1-1.13.el7.noarch Nov 21 08:19:54 Updated: 1:libguestfs-devel-1.28.1-1.13.el7.x86_64 Nov 21 08:19:55 Updated: 1:virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.13.el7.x86_64 For me, it has been more than a month of struggle, doc reading, testing, and way too many failures; but thanks to the libguestfs team, I succeeded. So I'd like to express my sincere thanks to Richard and Matthew for your support and professionalism. As I explained it this long thread, I will have many more machines to convert, so they may be parts I may wish to see unsharpened (iptables concerns, sshd_config, livecd via pxeboot), but I know now that the code is correct and the pieces are fitting. Once again, thank you gentlemen. -- Nicolas Ecarnot
