Libguestfs - Nov 2011 - Virtio-win RPM?

I should have this in my head by now...

 

I tried migrating a physical Windows host last night using virt-p2v CD.
It ran for 3 hours and then died.  I'll get details later from the log
but as I think about it, I'll bet it died because I never installed
virtio-win in my Fedora migration server.  

 

The documentation says do "yum install virtio-win" - but this is RHEL
documentation and my migration server is a Fedora 14 VM and yum doesn't
find it from there.  Where do I grab virtio-win and how do I set it up
on that Fedora system such that virt-p2v-server will find it and use it
during a Windows P2V migration?

 

Thanks

We don't have an RPM for Fedora.  It wouldn't be possible to add this
to Fedora right now since we cannot yet cross-compile it from source
using a completely Free toolchain.  In future we probably will be able
to do this with mingw64.

The latest virtio-win ISO images are here:

Does anyone have an idea what this error message means?  This was waiting on the
console this morning after running a conversion last night using the virt-p2v CD
0.8.3.1:

 

Inspect_os:  cannot resolve Windows %SYSTEMROOT% at
/usr/share/perl5/sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 187, <> line 7.

 

Thanks

Is there a reference to a log file on that console?
