Libguestfs - Jul 2015 - Redhat v2v

Hi,

I am looking for the package, virt-v2v, for Redhat 7 to convert virtual
machines under Xen in Redhat 5 to KVM.  But, can't find it from the 7 and
neither from the public websites.   Why wasn’t virt-v2v included with 7
from the get-go?

And, pls also advise for the downloading sites if possible.

Regards,
Philip Li

It wasn't included in RHEL 7.0, and was only available in an obscure
OpenStack channel in RHEL 7.1.  In RHEL 7.2, the package will be
available in base RHEL for everyone.

In the meantime, you can get the package and use it on a RHEL 7.1
system by following the instructions here:
