Description Richard W.M. Jones 2011-01-26 14:43:25 UTC

Description of problem:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/virt-tools-list/2011-January/thread.html#00058

If a Windows <= 2003 guest has the Windows Recovery Console
installed, then the perl inspection code detects this as an
extra instance of Windows.  Since virt-v2v does not work with
multiboot operating systems, the conversion fails with the
error:

 virt-v2v: multiboot operating systems are not supported by virt-v2v

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.7.1(?)

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Windows Recovery Console to the guest hard disk.
2. Try virt-v2v conversion.
3.
  
Actual results:

virt-v2v/libguestfs thinks the guest is multiboot and fails.

Expected results:

virt-v2v should ignore the Recovery Console partition and
convert only the main partition.  It should probably warn that
the Recovery Console has not been converted and must be
reinstalled.

Any updates or workarounds for this issue?

Comment 2 Matthew Booth 2011-02-28 11:30:00 UTC

Unfortunately not yet.

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-12-15 12:11:15 UTC

This is now fixed in the latest version, so closing.  Try the
version in RHEL 7.1 which works fine with WRC.
