[Users] issue with conversion of ESXi 5 centos VM to fedora19 ovirt host

[Madhav V Diwan]

Sorry richard 

seems that it failed even when i tried to set that variable

Maybe i set up the command incorrectly?

here is what i ran


[root at server3 ~]# cat convrtesxhost.sh

#!/bin/bash

export LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 
export LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG=1
export LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct

virt-v2v -ic esx://ESX.decllc.biz/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -os
server3.decllc.biz:/localstorage/nfs --network ovirtmgmt razDC  2>&1 |
tee /var/log/virt-v2v.log 

***

and here is the same result .. note the guestfs switches back to 
appliance backend

[root at server3 ~]# ./convrtesxhost.sh
