Hi,
yes I was unable to migrate VM using virt-v2v (version 0.8.8) on Fedora
18. It seems that there is some incompatibility between libvirt and
virt-v2v tool. However with older version of this toolit's possible to
perform successful import. For example virt-v2v on Fedora 16 (version
0.8.5) or RHEL 6.3 (version 0.8.7) works well.
Regards,
Piotr
