We could probably support OEL with a bit of effort, but it's not supported now. The virt-v2v manual (which you should read, as well as the virt-p2v manual) provides a list of all OSes

Just spent a little time poking around w/ p2v and am attaching the following pseudo-code for consideration. Note the patches aren't commit ready yet, just looking for thoughts - The first is a fix to get client image building process working on F17. It seems the version of ksflatten there didn't expand the nested %includes which was causing errors (also --interpreter image-minimizer

Figure I'd share the latest revision to p2v I had regarding $subject. The patch now applies against HEAD and compiles fine. I was able to update the package on the client and run virt-p2v, though have yet to do a full end-to-end verification Most likely a little more work is needed to tidy up some edge cases and fully flush things out, but the majority of the work should be in place. On the

Hi, In a oVirt 3.4.4 environnement, and using a virt-p2v-0.9.1-2.20130730.1.el6.centos, I'm trying to convert a windows 2003 server 32 bits into an oVirt KVM image. I already succeed doing that many times, but now, this is failing : - All the usual process sounds good : PXE -> DHCP -> connection to the P2V server -> choosing the profile -> (checking the debug option) ->
