Description of problem: No error shows when multiple conflicting options used with virt-v2v Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libguestfs-1.27.41-1.1.el7.x86_64 virt-v2v-1.27.41-1.1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check the virt-v2v manual page, it said that "Only one input and output mode can be selected for each run of virt-v2v". # man virt-v2v ... Virt-v2v has a number of possible input and output modes, selected using the -i and -o options. Only one input and output mode can be selected for each run of virt-v2v. ... 2. Use "-i libvirtxml" & "-i disk" options together when converting a guest. # virt-v2v -i disk -i libvirtxml -o local -os /var/tmp/ rhel6.6-pv-x64-test.img [ 0.0] Opening the source -i libvirtxml rhel6.6-pv-x64-test.img virt-v2v: error: exception: Out of memory If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] 3. Use "-i disk" for several times in one command line. # virt-v2v -i disk -i disk -i disk -i disk -o local -os /var/tmp/ rhel6.6-pv-x64-test.img [ 0.0] Opening the source -i disk rhel6.6-pv-x64-test.img [ 0.0] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified [ 0.0] Opening the overlay [ 44.0] Initializing the target -o local -os /var/tmp/ [ 44.0] Inspecting the overlay [ 48.0] Checking for sufficient free disk space in the guest [ 48.0] Converting Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.6 Beta (Santiago) to run on KVM virt-v2v: warning: /files/boot/grub/device.map/hd0 references unknown device "xvda". You may have to fix this entry manually after conversion. [ 76.0] Mapping filesystem data to avoid copying unused and blank areas [ 77.0] Closing the overlay [ 77.0] Copying disk 1/1 to /var/tmp/rhel6.6-pv-x64-test-sda (raw) (100.00/100%) [ 91.0] Creating output metadata [ 91.0] Finishing off Actual results: For step2: Conversion failed, but the error: exception: Out of memory is unclear. For step3: Conversion successfully with several times in one command line. Expected results: virt-v2v should forbid multiple conflicting options used with virt-v2v show friendly error. Additional info: Log file for step2 and step3 will be attached.

For the -i and -o options, this is fixed in the following commit: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/b6099f4aee3e14a04f6b8c8d62246d337f2a1582 $ virt-v2v -i disk -i libvirt virt-v2v: error: -i option used more than once on the command line Note this doesn't fix other options. eg. It's still possible to specify -oa or -os twice (in which case, the last option "wins"). It complicates the code to prevent such cases.
I can reproduce this issue as Comment 0. Try to verify with new build: libguestfs-1.27.43-1.1.el7.x86_64 virt-v2v-1.27.43-1.1.el7.x86_64 steps: # virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -i disk virt-v2v: error: -i option used more than once on the command line If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] # virt-v2v -i disk -o local -i disk virt-v2v: error: -i option used more than once on the command line If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] # virt-v2v -i disk -o local -o local virt-v2v: error: -o option used more than once on the command line If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] # virt-v2v -o local -i disk -o local virt-v2v: error: -o option used more than once on the command line If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] see above result, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
