libguestfs-1.16.8-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Step to Reproduce:
1.Add items to install custom packages during linux conversions in /etc/virt-v2v.conf.
  <capability os='linux' distro='rhel' major='6' name='user-custom'>
    <dep name='zsh' minversion='4.3.10-4.1.el6' />
  </capability>

    <app os='linux' distro='rhel' major='6' arch='x86_64' name='zsh'>
    <path>rhel/6/zsh-4.3.10-4.1.el6.x86_64.rpm</path>
  </app>

2.Download zsh-4.3.10-4.1.el6.x86_64.rpm and put it under
/var/lib/virt-v2v/software/rhel/6.

3.Prepare a guest not configured with yum repo.

4.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest:
# virt-v2v  -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b breth0 kvm-rhel6.2-x86_64-qcow2

Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 04:37:49 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 11:27:05 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

If you find a missing feature or bug in the new version of virt-v2v
please file a bug using the following link:
