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.

Description
Virt-v2v will fail when using relative path for -i ova

Version:
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.2.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Prepare a directory containing the esx ova files.
# pwd
/var/lib/libvirt/images

# ls esx-rhel6
esx-rhel6-disk1.vmdk  esx-rhel6.mf  esx-rhel6.ovf

2.Use virt-v2v to convert the ova file,input a relative path.
# virt-v2v -i ova -os default esx-rhel6 -of raw 
[   0.0] Opening the source -i ova esx-rhel6
[   0.0] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified
[   0.0] Opening the overlay
virt-v2v: error: libguestfs error: guestfs_launch failed.
This usually means the libguestfs appliance failed to start or crashed.
See http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#debugging-libguestfs
or run 'libguestfs-test-tool' and post the *complete* output into a
bug report or message to the libguestfs mailing list.

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the 
complete output:

  virt-v2v -v -x [...]

If I put the absolute path,virt-v2v works well.

Actual results：
Virt-v2v will fail when using relative path for -i ova

Expected results:
Virt-v2v didn't fail when using relative path for -i ova

Additional info:
1.Attach the debug info.

[ 167.0] Finishing off

Refer to the above comments,ova file with relative path can be converted successfully by virt-v2v,so move the bug to VERIFIED.
