Users upgrading from pre-release versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (i.e. the virt-v2v versions less than virt-v2v-0.6.2-2.el6) may be required to update the default virt-v2v configuration file. Specifically, the 'viostor' app for Windows guests is replaced by the 'virtio' app, which now points to the directory containing the complete driver.

Description Andrew Cathrow 2010-07-23 15:33:03 UTC
The VirtIO windows drivers have been included in the virt-v2v package. These drivers should only be provided by the virtio-win package.

If we need these drivers for virt-v2v then we should ensure that the user installs virtio-win (eg. make dependency) and if required include the appropriate file structure in the virtio-win package - eg. some expanded files in /usr/share/doc/virtio-win-1.0.0/

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-23 15:57:45 UTC
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **

Comment 3 Matthew Booth 2010-08-16 15:51:03 UTC
virtio-win now contains the expanded drivers we need to make this work and upstream contains a patch to incorporate it:

Comment 8 Matthew Booth 2010-08-18 13:04:16 UTC
Fix removed too much. Need to put firstboot, rhsrvany.exe and rhev-apt.exe back.

Comment 9 Matthew Booth 2010-08-18 14:50:46 UTC
Fixed in virt-v2v-0.6.2-3.el6.

Comment 11 Rita Wu 2010-08-19 03:02:28 UTC
Verified on virt-v2v-0.6.2-3.el6.
Now there are not any virtio Windows drivers contained in v2v package.And firstboot, rhsrvany.exe and rhev-apt.exe are moved back to windows dir so we can convert Windows guests successfully.

windows dir after installing v2v: 

# ls /var/lib/virt-v2v/software/windows/
firstboot.bat  rhev-apt.exe  rhsrvany.exe
