Hello everybody! I seem to be having a problem similar to
the posting from
" importing VM from ESXI " posted by emitor@gmail.com on 25.09.2013 21:10 UTC " I'm not being able to import a VM from ESXI:"
In my case i have a bit more of a trace on the permission issue but not much more

Has this issue been solved ? if so how as i do not see the resolution on the archives. Else would you all help me resolve it please?
It is very annoying to have a hundred gig disk copied over to your NFS export and then deleted because qemu or libguestfs has a permissions issue in opening it.
this is an issue with Ovirt Version 3.3.2-1.fc19
virt-v2v version is
virt-v2v --version 0.9.0
and libguestfs version and qemu version are :
libguestfs-1.22.7-4.fc19.x86_64
QEMU emulator version 1.4.2
Are you running virt-v2v as root? If so my guess is that it's this libvirt bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045069 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1045039
The easiest thing is to disable libvirt by doing:
sudo bash export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct virt-v2v [..etc..]
Rich.

yes unfortunately i am running as root.. hate doing that but
what account SHOULD i use? myself? VDSM?
sudo -u who
interesting idea.. Ill try it now on a smaller vm.
