This patch removes what appears to be an unnecessary check in the VMX
driver which is preventing us from importing guests that have an odd
number of vCPUs with virt-v2v.
Unfortunately to test this it seems you need a real VMware server
somewhere (substitute for ‘example.com’ below).
Download the VMX file attached to

$ virsh -c 'esx://example.com' domxml-from-native vmware-vmx window2016.vmx
Enter root's password for
example.com:
error: internal error: Expecting VMX entry 'numvcpus' to be an unsigned integer (1
or a multiple of 2) but found 7
After applying the patch:
$ ~/d/libvirt/run ~/d/libvirt/tools/virsh -c 'esx://example.com'
domxml-from-native vmware-vmx window2016.vmx
Enter root's password for
