Hi, I've imported a Windows VM from an ESXi to an export domain using virt-v2v. It didn't return me any error wen it finished (i think), but when attached the export domain I get the following advertising and the vm doesn't appear in the list to be imported: Failed to read VM '[Empty Name]' OVF, it may be corrupted Could you give me some hint to fix this, or what it could be the problem? Regards!

Hi Omer, It doesn't appears any ovf that with that VM, anyway I send you all ovf from the export. I've also noticed that some ovf are not listed on the VM import section in the UI. Why could this is happening? Regards! 2013/10/16 Omer Frenkel <ofrenkel@redhat.com>

This seems like a bug in virt-v2v, but it's hard to say. You should enable debugging in virt-v2v and then we should be able to see exactly what's going on. export LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 virt-v2v [...etc...] Remember to capture the complete, unedited output.

The most useful debugging information here would actually be the possibly corrupt OVF file. It's almost certainly going to be a metadata issue rather than a guest conversion issue. Whatever additional detailed logging you can provide about why RHEV rejected it would also be useful. Matt
