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 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-10-22 13:11:33 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1155150 +++

Description of problem:

I don't have a high confidence that this code works.  In fact, I
have a very low confidence that it works (eg. bug 1155150).

We don't have time to fix this mess in RHEL 7.1, so defer that
bug to RHEL 7.2.  In the meantime, disable this in RHEL 7.1.

Note that we don't uninstall VMware drivers in Windows at all,
for different reasons.

Will you push this to the RHEL 7.1 Preview repo, too?

Thanks.
Comment 3 Marko Myllynen 2014-10-24 13:18:51 UTC

Thanks!

A new package is now available in the preview repo
which contains this patch.

I can reproduce this issue with following package version:
Host:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.2.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.2.el7.x86_64

Guest with vmware-tools installing version:

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