Fixed in: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/096c05a750b8b525e48149c0c6522769c92ab07c (libguestfs >= 1.27.38) I can reproduce it as bug description. Then try to verify it with package: libguestfs-1.27.39-1.1.el7.x86_64 virt-v2v-1.27.39-1.1.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1. Prepare a running guest. # virsh list Id Name State ---------------------------------------------------- 38 rhel6 running 2.Use virt-v2v to convert the running guest # virt-v2v -o rhev -os 10.66.90.115:/vol/v2v_auto/auto_export --network rhevm rhel6 [ 0.0] Opening the source -i libvirt rhel6 virt-v2v: error: internal error: invalid argument: libvirt domain 'rhel6' is running, it must be shut down in order to perform virt-v2v conversion If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] Result: It prevent converting running guest with virt-v2v and showing error message, so move to VERFILED. Hi rjones,
I want to confirm with you about some points:
1. can we convert a paused guest, if not should show some error.
now the result is, i can convert a paused guest successfully.
steps:
1.1 Prepare a paused guest.
# virsh list
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
2 rhel6 paused
# virsh domstate rhel6 --reason
paused (user)
1.2. Use virt-v2v to convert the paused guest,no error shows.
# virt-v2v -o rhev -os 10.66.90.115:/vol/v2v_auto/auto_export --network rhevm rhel6

2. when virt-v2v operation will check the guest status, that's to say at the beginning or monitoring the whole conversion process.
Please help me check it, thanks.

Yes, this is correct. You are allowed to convert a paused guest. The current test only checks the guest is not running. > 2. when virt-v2v operation will check the guest status, that's to say at the > beginning or monitoring the whole conversion process. Yes, it only checks the status at the beginning of the operation. If you start the guest half way through v2v, you'll end up with a corrupted guest. There's not a way to stop this from happening. There is no concept in libvirt of blocking a guest from running. (In reply to Richard W.M.

You are allowed to convert a paused guest. > The current test only checks the guest is not running. I've changed my mind on this. Starting with libguestfs 1.27.47, virt-v2v prevents you from starting conversion on a guest which is paused (or "idle", which was an actual bug).
