Comment 6 Daisy Wu 2012-03-23 05:20:47 UTC
Verified it on virt-v2v-0.8.7-4.el6.x86_64.

# man virt-v2v
……
       --vmtype type
           Specify the type of guest which will be created on a RHEV target. Options are desktop or server. If this option is not specified, a default option will be chosen based on the
           detected guest operating system:

           Desktop
               ·   Fedora

               ·   RHEL Client/Workstation/Desktop

               ·   Windows XP/Vista/7

           Server
               ·   RHEL Server/AS/ES

               ·   Windows 2003/2003r2/2008/2008r2

           If the guest OS is not detected as any of the above, it will default to server.

Changed the status to VERFIED.
