Hi,
I have two questions about virt-v2v that I hope someone could help with.
1. I have a host that I use to export VMs from VMWare to oVirt, as the RHEL 7 version of virt-v2v does not support W2012.
Please try this version: https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/libguestfs-RHEL-7.3-preview/
When I run the conversion/export (-o ovirt -os ovirt-srv:/mnt/export) it looks for a bridge on the host I'm running the export for. What does it need the bridge on the local host for?
What's the actual error?
2. When I run a conversion of a W2012 host, it reports:
"virt-v2v: warning: Neither rhev-apt.exe nor vmdp.exe can be found. Unable to install one of them. virt-v2v: warning: there is no QXL driver for this version of Windows (6.2 x86_64). virt-v2v looks for this driver in /usr/share/virtio-win"
They are included in virt-v2v at the link above.
I can't find these two exe files. I've installed the ovirt-guest-tools-iso for FC23, and symlinked the mounted ISO to /usr/share/virtio-win, and though the two files it is looking for are not on that ISO, I thought it might help (it doesn't).
Can virt-v2v install such drivers, or should this just be done manually from within the guest?
Yes virt-v2v can install drivers. You need the virtio-win package from RHEL 7, since the WHQL'd drivers are not freely redistributable (or at least, the situation is complicated).
