RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Debug log

Description of problem:
While trying to convert a RHEL 6.4 server using virt-p2v , the following error is noticed:

virt-v2v: Died at /usr/bin/virt-p2v-server line 404, <> line 7.

Uploading the debug log of this process.
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-09-25 17:59:35 UTC 
The error seems to be:

libguestfs: read_db_dump command: db_dump -k '/tmp/libguestfsLahEFY/3-rpm_Name'
libguestfs: trace: inspect_list_applications = NULL (error)

(from parsing /var/lib/rpm/Name from the disk image).  Actually
there are two problems here, firstly that this fails and secondly
that there is no error message set by libguestfs.

Setting to NEEDINFO because Anitha has promised to
get the /var/lib/rpm/Name file from the origin.

I haven't heard back from the Customer yet on this request. Will upload the data as soon as they send it across.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-10-02 12:41:43 UTC 
I'm baffled by what could cause this bug.  I suspect the actual
libguestfs error is being hidden somewhere.

What versions of the following packages does the customer
have installed on the v2v conversion server?

- db4-utils
- libguestfs
- virt-v2v
- qemu
- kernel

(Do we have a sosreport?)
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-10-02 12:55:51 UTC 
It would also be cool if they could run the following
commands on the conversion server.  Note that 'Name' is
the Name file that they supplied to us (also attached to
this bug):

db_dump -k Name > /tmp/output
echo $?

and note down the exit code ($?) and send us the output file.
Comment 11 RHEL Program Management 2013-10-14 01:56:03 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.
Comment 13 Richard W.M. Jones 2013-10-19 21:52:04 UTC 
Upstream commit d6e5a6546afeb1554e676e5a4197002559f6cde7
uses AC_PATH_PROG(S) so that the paths to db_dump etc are
encoded in the binary.  This should mean this kind of bug
cannot happen (in libguestfs >= 1.25).
