Bug 1592468

Created attachment 1452664 [details]
v2v-import-20180614T140018-20988.log

This was caused by a change in ovirt-engine affecting parsing
of the OVF that virt-v2v generates:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/91902/

Two patches have been posted upstream to fix this, although only
the first is strictly required:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-June/msg00075.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-June/msg00077.html

The preview packages fixes the issue.

Pushed upstream:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/7c2afc88fd6aceb869a5e1c47a8183879ddec5fc
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/75e8b1386766b18aecefdc8a75fbbf85ddb52037

Only the first is strictly required for RHEL 7, but maybe
it's best to have both.

I can reproduce the bug with builds:
virt-v2v-1.36.10-6.10.rhvpreview.el7ev.x86_64
libguestfs-1.36.10-6.10.rhvpreview.el7ev.x86_64
rhv:4.2.4.4-0.1.el7_3

Reproduce steps:
1.Prepare vddk env on virt-v2v conversion server

2.Convert a guest from vmware via vddk to rhv4.2's data domain,the guest can't be imported to rhv4.2 due to same error with bug

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the 
complete output:

Verify the bug with builds
virt-v2v-1.38.2-6.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.38.2-6.el7.x86_64
rhv:4.2.4.4-0.1.el7_3

Steps:
1.Convert above guest from vmware via vddk to rhv4.2's data domain again

2.Power on guest and checkpoints of guest are passed except bug 1598715


Result:
  Virt-v2v could convert the guest to rhv4.2 using --rhv-upload successfully,so move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
