Fixed upstream in: https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v/commit/02e58d54fef14be72078559dae8c7c7a39f7c0f5 https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v/commit/4e6b389b4e27c8d13e57fcaf777d96ad7e08650b For QE, you can remove any tests of this feature from RHEL 9. Reproduced with virt-v2v-1.45.99-2.el9_0.x86_64.
Step1: Check the manual page
# man virt-v2v |grep json
-o json
Set the output method to json.
For -o json, -o local and -o qemu, this is a directory name. The directory must exist.
Step2: Check in the command
# virt-v2v -o json
[ 0.3] Setting up the source: -i libvirt
virt-v2v: error: -i libvirt: expecting a libvirt guest name on the command
line
If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:
virt-v2v -v -x [...]
Verified with virt-v2v-2.0.3-1.el9.x86_64.
Step1: Check the manual page
# man virt-v2v |grep json
Step2: Check in the command
# virt-v2v -o json
virt-v2v: error: unknown -o option: json
If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:
virt-v2v -v -x [...]

Description of problem: Virt-v2v has an option to output to a templated JSON file. It is currently documented as follows: virt-v2v [-i* options] -o json -os DIRECTORY [-oo json-disks-pattern=PATTERN] [...] OUTPUT TO JSON The -o json option produces the following files by default: NAME.json JSON metadata. NAME-sda, NAME-sdb, etc. Guest disk(s). where "NAME" is the guest name. It is possible to change the pattern of the disks using the -oo json-disks-pattern=... option: it allows parameters in form of "%{...}" variables, for example: -oo json-disks-pattern=disk%{DiskNo}.img [...] This feature was added for KubeVirt but was never used. I'm intending to remove this in virt-v2v upstream version 2.2, but I think we should remove it from virt-v2v in RHEL 9.1 (version 2.0.x). This will be a kind of regression because the feature is available in RHEL 9.0, but we don't believe anyone is using it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-2.0.2-1.el9.x86_64
