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 Fabien Dupont 2018-06-18 15:16:55 UTC
Description of problem:
When migrating a virtual machine using virt-v2v the generated OVF is invalid. Some size information is missing or incorrect.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - 


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install RHV 4.2.4-4
2. Migrate a virtual machine vith virt-v2v and -o rhv-upload option to RHV

Actual results: the migration fails.

Expected results: the migration succeeds.

Additional info: -

Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-06-18 15:21:17 UTC
Created attachment 1452664 [details]
v2v-import-20180614T140018-20988.log

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-06-18 15:22:34 UTC
This was caused by a change in ovirt-engine affecting parsing
of the OVF that virt-v2v generates:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/91902/

Two patches have been posted upstream to fix this, although only
the first is strictly required:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-June/msg00075.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-June/msg00077.html

Comment 4 Fabien Dupont 2018-06-19 08:33:34 UTC
The preview packages fixes the issue.

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2018-06-21 14:18:06 UTC
Pushed upstream:

https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/7c2afc88fd6aceb869a5e1c47a8183879ddec5fc
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/75e8b1386766b18aecefdc8a75fbbf85ddb52037

Only the first is strictly required for RHEL 7, but maybe
it's best to have both.

Comment 7 mxie@redhat.com 2018-07-06 09:44:37 UTC
I can reproduce the bug with builds:
virt-v2v-1.36.10-6.10.rhvpreview.el7ev.x86_64
libguestfs-1.36.10-6.10.rhvpreview.el7ev.x86_64
rhv:4.2.4.4-0.1.el7_3

Reproduce steps:
1.Prepare vddk env on virt-v2v conversion server

2.Convert a guest from vmware via vddk to rhv4.2's data domain,the guest can't be imported to rhv4.2 due to same error with bug

2.Power on guest and checkpoints of guest are passed except bug 1598715


Result:
  Virt-v2v could convert the guest to rhv4.2 using --rhv-upload successfully,so move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
