Description Matthew Booth 2011-01-21 11:01:53 UTC

virt-v2v dropped support for Windows XP guests when the driver was removed from the virtio-win package. The driver has been re-added in RHEL 6.1, so virt-v2v should support it again. This is a trivial configuration change to the default configuration.

However, a user upgrading from an earlier version of virt-v2v may have to manually alter /etc/virt-v2v.conf. If you see the following error message when attempting to convert a Windows XP guest:

the following section must be added to /etc/virt-v2v.conf:
