Will, 

Using .netrc is deprecated you can now define your own file with --password-file <filename> format is the same.   Its a long read, but you can find everything you need on options in http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html 

For v2v server setup I followed the RHEV docs - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/V2V_Guide/index.html

This doesn’t answer your question directly, but I never had any luck using virt-v2v from VMWare.  I found it worked well to treat the VMWare VM just like a physical server, boot it from the virt-v2v iso and convert the VMWare VM that way.

Hi

 

I have a project to convert VMs on VMware ESX 5.5 and some VM on standalone KVM server to oVirt.  I started to look into virt-v2v.  I wonder if I'm hitting the right list.  Please let me know if this list doesn't cover virt-v2v.

 

Issue:

when I run the following command on one of two hosts running oVirt 3.3.3-2-el6

    virt-v2v  -ic esx://esxserver1/?no_verify=1 -os GFS1 virtmachine1

 

I got:

virt-v2v: Failed to connect to qemu:///system: libvirt error code: 45, message: authentication failed: Failed to step SASL negotiation: -7 (SASL(-7): invalid parameter supplied: Unexpectedly missing a prompt result)

 

I already added a .netrc which 600, correct oVirt login and password. I also ran saslpasswd2 as root already.

 

Thanks

 

Will
