Description of problem:

virt-v2v of VMware Windows 2008 R2 VM with recovery console installed completes successfully:

[root@ovirt-engine-01 Win2008]# time virt-v2v -ic esx://esxserver01/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -os 127.0.0.1:/ovirt_export_domain --network ovirtmgmt -of qcow2 -oa sparse cloud-ws-01
cloud-ws-01_cloud-ws-01: 100% [=======================================================================================================================================================================================]D 1h12m43s
virt-v2v: cloud-ws-01 configured with virtio drivers.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


oVirt: 3.4.1
virt-v2v tool: virt-v2v-0.9.1-5.el6_5.x86_64
virtio drivers: virtio-win-0.1-74.iso (the iso was mounted and files for windows 2008 were copied to /usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/amd64/Win2008)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform v2v-virt2v
2. Import VM to oVirt
3. Start VM 

Actual results:

VM boots into recovery console. If the VM is rebooted and "Launch Windows Normally" is selected then a BSOD is thrown and the VM is rebooted.


Expected results:

VM boots normally


Additional info:

Output of virt-inspector and virt-filesystems for the converted disk are attached.

For your info, the disk used by virt-inspector and virt-filesystems commands is the converted one which is stored on the export domain.

Comment 3 Sokratis 2014-05-23 06:08:59 UTC
Turns out that I was using the wrong virtio drivers. After loading the correct ones the v2v was completed successfully and I was able to boot the VM normally.

Sorry for that :) You can close it.

Thanks a lot!
