Description jackdan 2019-07-17 02:06:48 UTC
Description of problem:
Virt-v2v can't convert the guest from VMware ESXi to Openstack


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-1.40.2-6.fc31.x86_64
libguestfs-1.40.2-6.fc31.x86_64
libvirt-5.5.0-1.fc31.x86_64
qemu-kvm-4.0.0-5.fc31.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

virt-v2v host:
it is a openstack server
guest is fedora31

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Prepare a linux guest(in the VMware ESXi, status is shutoff, guest is redhat Enterprise 6.5) and using virt-v2v can convert the linux guest to openstack but the conversion is failed. pls refer to attachment log
# virt-v2v -ic vpx://administrator%40vsphere.local.1.213/?no_verify=1 Test02 -o openstack -oo server-id=<openstack-server-id/name>  
command: mount returned 32
command: mount: stderr:
mount: /sysroot: unknown filesystem type.
inspect_os: fses:
inspect_get_roots: roots:
libguestfs: trace: v2v: inspect_os = []
virt-v2v: error: inspection could not detect the source guest (or physical 
machine).

Assuming that you are running virt-v2v/virt-p2v on a source which is 
supported (and not, for example, a blank disk), then this should not 
happen.

No root device found in this operating system image.


The guest information like this:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/*release
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
CentOS release 6.10 (Final)
[root@localhost ~]# lsblk

└─sda2                        8:2    0  2.5G  0 part

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2019-07-17 16:27:10 UTC
Unfortunately the conversion log isn't complete.  However I can see that the conversion
times out:

qemu-system-x86_64: curl: Operation timed out after 2000001 milliseconds with 63264 out of 327680 bytes received

and everything fails shortly afterwards.  You're using the very slow HTTPS method
(see virt-v2v-input-vmware section "INPUT FROM VMWARE VCENTER SERVER").  A much
faster way to do it is to use -i vmx from local file, over ssh or over VDDK.  These
alternate methods are also docmented in virt-v2v-input-vmware(1).

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to '31'.

Comment 5 Ben Cotton 2019-08-13 19:01:23 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 31 development cycle.
Changing version to 31.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 17:03:11 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 18:35:46 UTC
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
