I have little to no idea how to help with the rest, but have you
tried using virt-v2v for the switch? It could help you a lot with
some of these things. I hope your use case is supported, I haven't
really had many use cases for if myself.
All my test migrations had worked successfully with "virt-install
--import ..." so I never looked into virt-v2v. Thanks for pointing
this out though.
Nonetheless, is there a reason the RHEL/CentOS VM requires the dracut
command to be run but the Debian/Ubuntu VMs don't need
update-initramfs to be run? Should I open a bug or feature request
against dracut to make this easier, or has it been discussed previously?
