Description: Should remove info about "Remove VMware tools from Windows guests" in virt-v2v-input-vmware man page Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-1.40.2-16.module+el8.1.1+5096+6326d3d5.x86_64 How reducible: 100% Reproducing steps: 1. Check virt-v2v man page about Windows vmware-tools # man virt-v2v-input-vmware |grep "Remove VMware tools from Windows guests" -A 10 VMX: Remove VMware tools from Windows guests For Windows guests, you should remove VMware tools before conversion. Although this is not strictly necessary, and the guest will still be able to run, if you don't do this then the converted guest will complain on every boot. The tools cannot be removed after conversion because the uninstaller checks if it is running on VMware and refuses to start (which is also the reason that virt-v2v cannot remove them). This is not necessary for Linux guests, as virt-v2v is able to remove VMware tools. -- OVA: Remove VMware tools from Windows guests For Windows guests, you should remove VMware tools before conversion. Although this is not strictly necessary, and the guest will still be able to run, if you don't do this then the converted guest will complain on every boot. The tools cannot be removed after conversion because the uninstaller checks if it is running on VMware and refuses to start (which is also the reason that virt-v2v cannot remove them). This is not necessary for Linux guests, as virt-v2v is able to remove VMware tools. -- vCenter: Remove VMware tools from Windows guests For Windows guests, you should remove VMware tools before conversion. Although this is not strictly necessary, and the guest will still be able to run, if you don't do this then the converted guest will complain on every boot. The tools cannot be removed after conversion because the uninstaller checks if it is running on VMware and refuses to start (which is also the reason that virt-v2v cannot remove them). This is not necessary for Linux guests, as virt-v2v is able to remove VMware tools. Actual result: there is info about "Remove VMware tools from Windows guests" in virt-v2v-input-vmware man page Expected result: Should remove info about "Remove VMware tools from Windows guests" in virt-v2v-input-vmware man page because v2v already can remove the vmware-tools from windows guest since version 1.40 Additional info:
