Description Marko Myllynen 2012-02-08 13:39:21 UTC
Description of problem:
When converting a VMware RHEL 6 guest with virt-v2v by

# qemu-img convert -p -O qcow2 /tmp/virtual-rhel.vmdk /var/lib/libvirt/images/virtual-rhel.img
# virsh --connect qemu:///system pool-refresh default
# virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -os default /tmp/virtual-rhel.xml

using the following in the guest XML definition

...
<sound model='ich6'>
  <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x06' function='0x0'/>
</sound>
...

the guest correctly appears in virt-manager but when inspecting the guest HW details the sound card is missing. This could of course be intentional / by design but other pieces of hardware in the guest XML definition like USB Tablet are being correctly created for the guest.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.2

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 04:38:04 UTC
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-18 11:26:35 UTC
Virt-v2v needs to run on the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux release
to ensure it can correctly read and modify new guest filesystem
features.  A new version of virt-v2v is now available for RHEL 7.1.

Before RHEL 7.1 is released, follow the instructions here to
install unsupported preview packages on top of RHEL 7.0:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html

After RHEL 7.1 is released, virt-v2v will be available in
Technical Preview.

You can run virt-v2v in a single virtual machine.  Other
requirements are covered here:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#resource-requirements

please file a bug using the following link:
