Created attachment 1187820 [details] png-1 Description of problem: Failed to connect to conversion server while testing LSI-mpt2sas hardware which using bnx2x network driver, for virt-p2v cannot load bnx2x network driver. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-1.32.6-4.el7.x86_64 libguestfs-1.32.6-4.el7.x86_64 virt-p2v-1.32.6-1.el7.iso How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: Driver information: Description Type Bus Driver Vendor ID Device ID Subsys Vendor ID Subsys Device ID NetXtreme II BCM57712 10 Gigabit Ethernet NETWORK pci bnx2x 14e4 1662 1028 045f 1. Install rheL7.3-x86_64 on LSI-mpt2sas hardware which using bnx2x network driver. After installation finished, login rhel7.3 host, network works well, and check the enabled network's mac address. Then shut down. 2. Boot the source machine into p2v client via iso 3. Input correct conversion server ip/'User name'/'Password', then press the 'Test Connection' button. Actual results: 1. After 'Test Connection' finished, we get a ssh connection failed error. ssh: connect to host 10.66.4.197 port 22: Network is unreachable Details please see png-1 2.Then click XTerm, and run # ifconfig -a Result: No active network. Then run # ethtool -i eth0(used mac address in step1) driver: bnx2x version: 1.712.30-0 firmware-version: FFV7.4.8 bc 7.4.19 phy baa0.20a bus-info: 0000:01:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: yes # lsmod Module Size Used by bnx2x 74815 0 Result: No bnx2x module loaded, also try to load this driver by manual(# modprobe bnx2x) but get same result. Details please see png-2. Expected results: virt-p2v iso should load bnx2x network driver successfully. Additional info: I cannot reproduce this issue on old version: virt-p2v-1.28.1-1.51.3.el7.1.noarch.rpm

Pino pointed out that the version of linux-firmware that we are built against is too old to contain the required firmware (bnx2x-e2-7.13.1.0.fw). This is contained in more recent linux-firmware, eg: https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=506832 So we probably need a build override.
Try to verify this bug with new build: virt-p2v-1.32.6-5.el7.iso Conversion server version: qemu-kvm-rhev-2.6.0-19.el7.x86_64 virt-p2v-1.32.6-5.el7.noarch virt-v2v-1.32.6-5.el7.x86_64 libguestfs-1.32.6-5.el7.x86_64 Steps: 1. Install rheL7.3-x86_64 on LSI-mpt2sas hardware which using bnx2x network driver. After installation finished, login rhel7.3 host, network works well, and check the enabled network's mac address. Then shut down. 2. Boot the source machine into p2v client via iso 3. Input correct conversion server ip/'User name'/'Password', then press the 'Test Connection' button. Result: 1. 'Test Connection' finished with no error and can connect to conversion server successfully with info prompt and 'Next' button is enable. Connected to the conversion server. Press the 'Next' button to configure the conversion process. 2. Click 'XTerm' button and check 'eth0' is enabled now. # ethtool -i eth0 driver: bnx2x version: 1.712.30-0 firmware-version: FFV7.4.8 bc 7.4.19 phy baa0.20a bus-info: 0000:01:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: yes Since 'bnx2x' driver can be recognized by virt-p2v boot iso, move this bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED.
