Description mxie@redhat.com 2016-03-07 10:23:05 UTC
Description of problem:
Remove reference info about --dcpath in virt-v2v manual page

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libvirt-1.3.1-1.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.32.2-6.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.32.2-6.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check virt-v2v manual page:
--dcpath Folder/Datacenter
           NB: You don't need to use this parameter if you have
           libvirt ≥ 1.2.20.

           For VMware vCenter, override the "dcPath=..." parameter used to
           select the datacenter.  Virt-v2v can usually calculate this from
           the "vpx://" URI, but if it gets it wrong, then you can override it
           using this setting.  Go to your vCenter web folder interface, eg.
           "https://vcenter.example.com/folder" (without a trailing slash),
           and examine the "dcPath=" parameter in the URLs that appear on this
           page.

2.There is dcpath info in virt-v2v manual page, but--dcpath is not needed for RHEL 7.3 users


Actual results:
As above description

Expected results:
Remove --dcpath info in virt-v2v manaul page

I can reproduce this issue with build:
libguestfs-1.32.5-5.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.32.5-5.el7.x86_64

Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-v2v-1.32.5-9.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.32.5-9.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Check virt-v2v manual page:

Result: cannot find content about 'dcpath'.

2.Also check virt-v2v help information.
# virt-v2v --help 
....
  --dcpath path                               Override dcPath (for vCenter)
  --dcPath path                               -"-


So rjones, does this means option has been disabled in help, thanks?

1.
Have confirmed with you via irc, so remove 'needinfo' flag, thanks.

 -"- is ditto mark.
2.

Since '--dcpath' has remove from manual page, and cannot remove from help output now, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
