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.

Comment 3 tingting zheng 2015-06-03 06:57:55 UTC

I am able to reproduce this with:

virt-p2v-1.28.1-1.51.3.el7.iso
& virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.51.el7.x86_64

(but not with virt-v2v-1.31.3-1.fc24.x86_64)

See attached screenshot.
Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-09-03 14:23:55 UTC 
Sorry no, the problem is different.

What happens is this:

(1) You fill in the conversion server details on the first page.

(2) You go to the "Next" page, and the output list is normal.

(3) You go "Back" to the conversion server page.

(4) You go forwards again.

(5) Now the output list contains 2 x the list.

Similarly if you repeat steps (3)-(5) you will see 3 x the outputs,
4 x the outputs and so on.  In other words, when repopulating the
list of outputs, it doesn't remove the old list first (there is
code which is supposed to do this, but for some reason it doesn't
work).

The same bug affects upstream too.
Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-09-03 15:39:55 UTC 
Upstream fix is:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/6246bebf82e2bd097aa476dad101416faf03240f

I'm going to bump this to RHEL 7.3 because I can't face
spending more hours rebuilding the virt-p2v ISO (unless some
other important bug turns up in which case I'll slip this
fix in).
Comment 10 keanli 2016-05-26 08:09:19 UTC 
I can reproduce it with build:
Livecd-p2v-201505191242.iso

Verify it with build:
Virt-p2v-1.32.4-1.iso

Steps:
1.Boot host from virt-p2v iso.
2.After virt-p2v client is launched,fill correct conversion server ip,user name and password.
3.Click the “test connection ”button
4.Click the "Next "button enter the convert setup page
5.Check the output option list
6.Each option just appear once in the option list
7.Go back to the conversion server page via click "back" Button
8.After repeat step3-step6 more than twice,all the output option methods only appear once

Result now:
According the testing result, the bug has been fixed
So move the bug from ON_QA to VERFIED
