Hi Andres, If you ran virt-v2v as root: # ll ~/.netrc -rw-------. 1 root root 293 Aug 16 21:20 /root/.netrc Notes, the file access permission is 600. # cat ~/.netrc machine <add your ESX host IP> login root password <add your ESX host password> And then run the following cmdline: # virt-v2v -ic esx://192.168.250.31/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -os 192.168.250.30:/oVirt/export -b ovirtmgmt VM_NAME I hope it's helpful for you. -- Regards, Alex ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andres Gonzalez" <tuchoz@gmail.com> To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Friday, August 24, 2012 12:57:32 PM Subject: [Users] [V2V] import errors Hi, I'm trying to migrate V2V from an ESXi 5 to oVirt 3.1 under CentOS 6.3 with virt-v2v Steps: - Allowed access from ssh on the ESXi box - Created a /root/.netrc file with 600 file permission with content: machine esxi_ip_address login root password root_password - Attached at the oVirt datacenter there's an export domain that is a local nfs share When I execute as root: # [root@vm-server ~]# virt-v2v -ic esx:// 192.168.250.31/ -o rhev -os 192.168.250.30:/oVirt/export -b ovirtmgmt VM_NAME The following error is displayed. virt-v2v: Failed to connect to esx:// 192.168.250.31/ : libvirt error code: 45, message: authentication failed: Username request failed What I could find is that is a libvirt bug, if I run the same command but as a non-root user, the error is that I need to be root to set -o rhev as a destination. Any idea if there any workaround ? Regards.- -- AGD _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
