Description Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-25 16:07:44 UTC
Description of problem:

Old virt-p2v had a Network Connection dialog, see:

http://oirase.annexia.org/booth_w_1020_guest_conversion_in_rhel.pdf
(page 7)

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html/V2V_Guide/P2V_Migration_Moving_workloads_from_Physical_to_Virtual_Machines-Converting_Physical_Machines_to_Virtual_Machines.html
(procedure 5.1,2)

I dropped this when doing the rewrite, but lack of a network
connection dialog means that virt-p2v can only ever work
with DHCP and IPv4.  No static network.  (Probably?) no IPv6.

See libguestfs.git/p2v/gui.c:

  /* Buttons. */
  gtk_dialog_add_buttons (GTK_DIALOG (conn_dlg),
                          /* _("Configure network ..."), 1, */
                          _("virt-p2v " PACKAGE_VERSION " ..."), 2,
                          _("Next"), 3,
                          NULL);

Uncomment the Configure network button (the easy bit) and
make it work (the hard bit).

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

virt-v2v 1.28.1

How reproducible:

100%

For reference, here is the old code (in Ruby, yummy):

Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-05-19 17:15:42 UTC
When I started to build the virt-p2v ISO using RHEL 7.2, I realized
even more patches are needed:

Tested with:
libguestfs-1.28.1-1.36.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.36.el7.x86_64
livecd-p2v-201505191242.iso	

After virt-p2v client is lanuched,there is button "Congigure network",after click this button,there is a dialog about "Network Connections".

Tested "Add","Edit","Delete" button,it works well.

Refer to the above comments,move the bug to VERIFIED.
