[Users] [V2V] import errors

[Alex Jia]

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.

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 at 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.-
