Libguestfs - Oct 2015 - Re: P2V conversion failed with "/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory"

Hi,

We are trying to do P2V conversion with virt-p2v.

we have conversion server (virt-p2v) and physical server (virt-p2v) server
configured as per below documentation.

http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v.1.html#kernel-command-line-configuration

After "Start Conversion" from GUI interface, we are conversion fails
with
"/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory"
Error.

Logs are attached for more details. Also FYI, we are using BL460c Gen8
server.

Any help will be appreciated.


Thanks,
Tejas

The actual error is:
> virt-v2v: error: no root device found in this operating system image.
What operating system / distro / version are you trying to convert?

Looking a bit more closely, virt-v2v seems to have trouble seeing
anything at all on the source disk.  So something may have gone badly
wrong.  Tell me about what OS you expect the source (physical) machine
to have, and also something about what hardware it is using for its
disks (SCSI? RAID? etc).
