OK. I changed the subject line so it fits in with the post I did a few minutes ago to the list. I did my virt-p2v-image-builder on June 28, version virt-p2v 0.8.1 devel.20110628025409. You just released virt-v2v 0.8.3 and I can go grab that and install it on my Fedora 14 VM. It looks like my virt-P2v CD that I burned 2 months ago is still current. But what I still don't get is, how do I set up the conversion server? This is part of what I tried earlier today and it blows up with a bizarre error. I'm guessing I want ssh:// but I haven't found any guidance.> [root at megahost gregs]# sh -v EOCHSP2V.sh > date > Wed Aug 31 11:53:39 CDT 2011 > virt-v2v -ic ssh://10.10.10.127/?no_verify=1 -o libvirt -osEOCHSVMStorage --bridge br0 10.10.10.127> virt-v2v: Failed to connect to ssh://10.10.10.127/?no_verify=1:libvirt error code: 38, message: Cannot access CA certificate '/etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem': No such file or directory> > date > Wed Aug 31 11:53:40 CDT 2011 > [root at megahost gregs]#- Greg Scott -----Original Message----- From: Richard W.M.

Matt will know in detail.I made an incompatible change in virt-p2v 0.8.1. Since then it's fine, though.> However I just pushed virt-p2v-image-builder to F14 quite recently. > The version in *F16* is known to be broken, but the version in F14 is > worth trying ... > > https://rwmj.wordpress.com/2011/08/30/virt-p2v-virt-v2v-in-fedora-14/The version in F14 is known to work. It's the only Fedora version I've tested on. I'm about to fix F15, though. The F16 problem Rich reported looks like the upstream kickstart syntax changed again.
