[Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008to ovirt?

[Dominic Kaiser]

Hey all here is an update using virt-v2v with esxi4 to import from throws
an error:

Invalid configuration of Net::HTTPS at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/Transfer/ESX.pm line 68.

I fixed this due to a fix coming down the line by removing:

rpm -e --nodeps perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.49-1.fc16.noarch

Then I was able to start the import from the esxi4 server.

Here is the link where I found the fix:

Hope this helps,

Dominic Kaiser
