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 of problem:
Change categories of "Guest Operating system management by VIX API" in v2v man page


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libguestfs-1.36.10-4.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.36.10-4.el7.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Check "VCENTER: NON-ADMINISTRATOR ROLE" info in v2v man page

 VCENTER: NON-ADMINISTRATOR ROLE
       Instead of using the vCenter Administrator role, you can create a
       custom non-administrator role to perform the conversion.  You will
       however need to give it a minimum set of permissions as follows:

       1.  Create a custom role in vCenter.

       2.  Enable (check) the following objects:

            Datastore:
             - Browse datastore
             - Low level file operations

            Sessions:
             - Validate session

            Virtual Machine:
              Provisioning:
                - Allow disk access
                - Allow read-only disk access
                - Guest Operating system management by VIX API


2.Try to add a role with setting above permission for vcenter6.5 server in vsphere client web, but found  "Guest Operating system management by VIX API " actually belongs to  Virtual Machine->Interaction,please refer to screenshot

Log into vsphere client web with administrator account -> open 'Home'interface -> select "role" -> click "+" -> select related permission

Actual results:
As above description

Expected results:
Change categories of "Guest Operating system management by VIX API" from "Provisioning" to "Interaction" in v2v man page

Additional info:
Vcenter6.0 has same categories of "Guest Operating system management by VIX API" in vsphere client web

Comment 8 zhoujunqin 2019-03-07 03:25:26 UTC 
I can reproduce this issue with package:
virt-v2v-1.38.2-12.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.38.2-12.el7.x86_64

Then try to verify this bug with new build:
virt-v2v-1.40.2-1.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.40.2-1.el7.x86_64

1.Check "VCENTER: NON-ADMINISTRATOR ROLE" info in v2v man page
# man virt-v2v-input-vmware
...
   vCenter: Non-administrator role
       Instead of using the vCenter Administrator role, you can create a custom non-administrator role to perform the conversion.  You will however need to give it a minimum set of permissions as follows
       (using VMware vCenter 6.5):

       1.  Create a custom role in vCenter.

       2.  Enable (check) the following objects:

            Datastore:
             - Browse datastore
             - Low level file operations

            Sessions:
             - Validate session

            Virtual Machine:
              Interaction:
                - Guest operating system management by VIX API
              Provisioning:
                - Allow disk access
                - Allow read-only disk access
Result:
    The Categories of "Guest Operating system management by VIX API" is correct in virt-v2v-input-vmware man page now
Comment 9 zhoujunqin 2019-04-12 06:45:54 UTC 
Verify this bug with latest build:
libguestfs-1.40.2-2.el7.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.40.2-2.el7.x86_64
libvirt-4.5.0-11.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-26.el7.x86_64

Step:

1.Check "VCENTER: NON-ADMINISTRATOR ROLE" info in v2v man page
# man virt-v2v-input-vmware
...

       custom non-administrator role to perform the conversion.  You will

            Virtual Machine:
              Interaction:
                - Guest operating system management by VIX API
              Provisioning:
                - Allow disk access
                - Allow read-only disk access

Result: 
The Categories of "Guest Operating system management by VIX API" is correct in v2v man page now, so move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
