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).

[Libguestfs] P2V conversion failed with "/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory"
Hi Richard, Thanks for your replay, We are using Fedora 21 with SAS drive and RAID 0 config on both Physical and conversion server. Thanks, Tejas On Sat, Oct 31, 2015 at 11:50 PM, Richard W.M.

Re: [Libguestfs] P2V conversion failed with "/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory"
Greetings Richard, To add to the above information, we are following the understated steps: 1. We have 2 BL460c (Gen8) with Fedora 21 installed. Both the machines(BL1 & BL2) have been updated with virt-v2v packages 2. On BL1, we execute the following commands: 1. virt-p2v-make-kickstart fedora 2. livecd-creator p2v.ks 3. After creating the "livecd-p2v-2xxxxxx.iso" file, we launch the 'virt-manager', from BL1 4. Create a new virtual machine using the 'File' option 5. Click on 'Begin Installation' after step 4 6. User is shown the 'Conversion Server' GUI login screen 7. Enter the credentials & click on 'Test Connection with Conversion Server' 8. 'Next' button is enabled 9. Click on 'Create p2v' and after sometime, the process is exited with status "-1" 10. The earlier attached log file is generated in BL2 (conversion server) under /tmp/virt-XXXX directory Hope it helps to solve the issue.

What precise RAID controller hardware? My other advice would be to log in to the virt-p2v shell (it's on one of the other consoles, like Alt+Ctrl+F2) and run 'dmesg' to see what hardware the virt-p2v kernel is seeing. If possible, copy 'dmesg' off and post that. Note I don't care about the conversion server - it is unlikely to be the problem.
