Libguestfs - Oct 2015 - fetching virt-p2v GUI on fedora 21

We need one simple deployment of converting a given server with some OS
converted to a Virtual Machine.

i.e.
-> to have a simple Linux/fedora machine and install apache or any web server
for testing or any application for that matter - the purpose here is to see if
this application works after the conversion to a virtual machine

-> Convert P2V using the tools.

-> Start virtual machine and see if works.

We have our conversion server in place, but we would like to know how could we
initiate virt-p2v GUI from my physical server, we have difficulties
understanding this -> When you start virt-p2v, you'll see a graphical
configuration dialog that walks you through connection to the conversion server,
asks for the password, which local hard disks you want to convert, and other
things like the name of the guest to create and the number of virtual CPUs to
give it.

How do we start virt-p2v on a fedora 21

Further, we see this:
[root@localhost ~]# yum install virt-p2v
Loaded plugins: langpacks
updates/21/x86_64/metalink                                                      
|  14 kB  00:00:00
updates                                                                         
| 4.7 kB  00:00:00
No package virt-p2v available.
Error: Nothing to do
[root@localhost ~]# virt-p2v --help
bash: virt-p2v: command not found...

Could you please help us with the steps in getting up the GUI

Sorry if this is very basic and if it seems to be a stupid question, apologize
upfront as we are taking a stab @ it for the first time... Awaiting for response
patiently....

Thanks & Regards,
Chengappa

What you need to do is to make or download a virt-p2v ISO, and boot
the physical machine using that.

You can make the ISO by following the instructions here:

http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v-make-disk.1.html
http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v-make-kickstart.1.html

but you may find it easier to download one that we provide:

http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/Fedora-22/
or http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/RHEL-7.2-preview/

You cannot run the virt-p2v program directly on the source physical
machine.  It has to be booted off the ISO.
