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 2014-11-25 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%

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.
