Description Robert McSwain 2016-03-15 18:26:56 UTC 
Description of problem:

RHEV 3.6 Administration Guide 
11.2.6. Adding a VMware Instance as a Virtual Machine Provider:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.6/html-single/Administration_Guide/index.html#Adding_a_VMware_Instance_as_a_Virtual_Machine_Provider

This section makes no mention that RHEV-H isn't supported for this feature. Users should be aware of this limitation so they can plan accordingly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Versions after 3.6


How reproducible:
Deploy RHEV with only RHEV-H hypervisors.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Untested

Actual results:
After reviewing the documentation, and checking the hypervisors I do not believe this feature is available. It depends on the virt-v2v tool (/usr/bin/virt-v2v) which does not exist in the rhev-h image.
Comment 1 Yaniv Lavi 2016-03-16 12:43:39 UTC 
Is this statement above true? Why is it not included?
Comment 2 Fabian Deutsch 2016-03-16 13:44:40 UTC 
If virt-v2v is missing, then this is because it is no direct dependency of any package inside of RHEV-H.
If it shall be available on RHEV-H then we either need to explicitly include it (please open an RFE for this if needed) or make it a dependency of another package.

virt-v2v is not blacklisted.
Comment 3 Yaniv Lavi 2016-03-17 17:45:21 UTC 
We plan to include this in next release of RHEV-H
