When virtualizing a physical machine ("P2V"), the conversion step is done by virt-v2v, but there is a small GUI / front end component called virt-p2v which has to run on the source physical machine in a special environment. http://libguestfs.org/virt-p2v.1.html#network-setup Because the nature of the problem is that we want to virtualize old machines, this means virt-p2v sometimes

libguestfs is a set of tools for reading and modifying disk images and virtual machines. virt-v2v and virt-p2v are tools for converting guests from foreign hypervisors (especially VMware, Xen), or physical machines, to run on KVM (eg. virt-manager, OpenStack/RHOS or oVirt/RHEV). This is just a heads-up about some changes to the way libguestfs and related packages will be packaged in RHEL 7.2.

I don't think anyone has tested it as we only bother with vSphere >= 5, but it should work, assuming the guest is supported. You shouldn't need to use virt-p2v, plain virt-v2v should

Hi, Do you know a repo for libvirt-daemon-kvm, because libvirt-daemon-kvm >= 1.2.8-3 is required and only libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.1.1-29.el7_0.3.x86_64 is available ?

Just a friendly reminder that RHEL 7.4 preview packages of libguestfs and virt-v2v are available. You should be able to use them on top of either RHEL 7.3 or CentOS 7.3. http://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.4-preview/ Instructions below.

Ok Thanks Richard, I'll try it !

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

If you are running RHEL 7.2 betas or snapshots (or RHEL 7.2 when it comes out next month) then you may be interested in trying out the newer RHEL 7.3 preview versions of: - libguestfs - virt-v2v (Supported since RHEL 7.2) - virt-p2v (Technical Preview in RHEL 7.2, Supported in RHEL 7.3) I intend to release upstream 1.32 towards the end of this year, and rebase libguestfs to that version.
