[QE-Review][V2V]It's better to erase '25.2.2. Converting a local Xen virtualized guest'
Last modified: 2014-10-20 20:00:30 EDT
Description of problem: In rhel6, there is no Xen kernel any more, so that it's impossible for us to convert a local Xen virtualized guest. It's better to erase 25.2.2. Converting a local Xen virtualized guest (http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/Virtualization/#chap-Virtualization-v2v-migration) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
This is still possible, because the host may have been upgraded in place from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6.
Oh, maybe I let you misunderstand. My point is we cannot convert Xen guests via running 'virt-v2v -ic xen:///localhost -op pool --bridge brname vm-name', because there is no Xen kernel in RHEL6. (also xen:///localhost should be xen:/// or xen:///system )
Ah, yes. I'd forgotten that was in there. I think the section needs to stay because we still want to support upgrading from RHEL 5 to RHEL 6. However, there is no need to document the case where the Xen hypervisor is running as this isn't possible in RHEL 6 as you say.
David, can you fix this bug for RHEL and RHEV? Chris
I have removed the xen:///localhost example from the RHEL 6 guide only. Fixed in build: Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Virtualization-6-web-en-US-0-44.el5
Verified: Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Virtualization-6-web-en-US-0-47.el5 xen:/// removed, section remains :)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you.
