I tested all windows guests with dynamic disk,host installed win7,win2008,win2008r2 can not boot after conversion to rhev,while host installed with winxp and win2003 can boot successfully after conversion to rhev. 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. This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development. This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4. 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 tested to use latest virt-p2v to convert win7 host with dynamic disk to rhev,after conversion,import the guest,the guest can be booted successfully.Yet not tested other windows,if I have time I will try. virt-p2v version:virt-p2v-0.9.1-2.20130730 Tingting, can you try the latest virt-p2v? (In reply to Richard W.M. Jones from comment #15) > Tingting, can you try the latest virt-p2v? Right now are busy with rhel6.7 virt-tools testing,I will try it later. This requires the ldmtool program. It should work upstream and in Fedora (although I've not actually tested it), but without the package being added to RHEL 7, it's not going to work there. I think it's probably a good idea to fix this later in RHEL 7, but it's not something we can do for RHEL 7.2. Moving to RHEL 7.3. Tested with: virt-p2v-1.28.1-1.49.1.el7 1.Install windows 7 32 bit on physical machine(sda1). 2.Create dynamic disk with sda2 and sda3. 3.Use virt-p2v to convert the host to rhev. 4.After conversion,import the guest and boot the guest. 5.Guest can be booted successfully on rhev. So I think we can close this bug. I'm a bit surprised it works without ldmtool. I guess that it works only because the systemroot disk (C: / sda) is not a dynamic disk. The other two disks are just treated as data. I'm adding the bug to the erratum, as that was the original test case. I doubt conversion of a host with dynamic disks as systemroot would work, until we can add ldmtool to RHEL 7. Refer to comment 20,move this bug to VERIFIED.
