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:
Fail to execute installation-qemu-ga.msi for win2012r2 and win8.1-i386 guests
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-1.40.2-22.module+el8.2.0+6029+618ef2ec.x86_64
libguestfs-1.40.2-22.module+el8.2.0+6029+618ef2ec.x86_64
virtio-win-1.9.9-3.el8.noarch
How reproducible:
for win2012r2 :100%
for win8.1-i386: 50%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set environment
1)For the conversion server: setup export VIRTIO_WIN=/usr/share/virtio-win/
2)Make sure the guest already installed powershell.
2.Convert a win2012r2 guest to rhv

2.2 Conversion can be finished successfully,and boot guest on rhv
2.3 Check if the guest has installed qume-guest-agent and the service is running normally.
a.Can find qemu-ga-x86_64 windows installer package in C:/
b.Can not find qemu-ga log file named qemu-ga-x86_64.msi in C:/.
c.Can not find qemu-ga service in guest.
d.Firstboot log:install service exit code 1,pls refer to screencut
Actual results:
virt-v2v cannot install qemu-ga and rhv-apt to win2012r2 guest during conversion.pls refer to attachment
Expected results:
can install qemu-ga and rhv-apt to win2012r2 and win10-i386 guests.
Additional info:
1.This bug can be reproduced in win8.1-i386,but cannot reproduced 100%. I test 6 times,only can be reproduced 3 times.
Bulk update: Move RHEL-AV bugs to RHEL9. If necessary to resolve in RHEL8, then clone to the current RHEL8 release.

This bug was closed in error by a process we do not control. My apologies,
reopening.
Test the bug with virt-v2v-1.45.98-1.el9.x86_64:
I can reproduce the bug only when convert win2012r2 guest from VMware to local libvirt by v2v, can't reproduce bug when convert win8.1 x86 guest from VMware to local libvirt by v2v, also can't reproduce bug when convert win2012r2 and win8.1 x86 guest from VMware to rhv by v2v

win2012r2 guest win8.1 x86 guest
output to local libvirt symptom reproduces symptom does not reproduce
output to rhv symptom does not reproduce symptom does not reproduce
The output mode should have make no difference. This is again one of those unfixable "windows firstboot" problems.
(See comment 2 as well.)
I'm extremely tempted to close this as CANTFIX. For now I'll only mark it "devel cond-nak".
