Comment 3 Cui Lei 2012-04-27 07:12:00 UTC
Converted citrix pv rhel5.8 x86_64 still met the same issue.

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:05:03 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 5 Matthew Booth 2012-10-24 09:03:10 UTC
This is fixed upstream, but is targetted at RHEL 7.0. This feature isn't going to make it to RHEL 6.4.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 07:32:51 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

I'm closing this bug:

 - virt-p2v has been rewritten for RHEL 7.2

 - Unofficial previews of the new version are available:
   http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/

 - If a similar bug occurs with the new version of virt-p2v,
   please open a new bug against Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / libguestfs
