Libguestfs - Aug 2021 - online-p2v

Hi there,
Is there possiable that virt-p2v can convert Physical computer online? Which
means do not reboot or start it through U disk.
Do we have plan on this, is there any other tool can do this?

Thanks
Ewan

This isn't possible with virt-p2v and cannot be done in general
(because the hardware and virtual devices change underneath the kernel).
