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:
even though in /var/lib/virt-v2v, the software folder timestamp newer than the transfer.iso, it also won't generate the transfer.iso file,

steps, 
1,in /var/lib/virt-v2v/software
2, mv rhel ../
3,rm transfer.iso,
4,run virt-v2v,  like,  will fail with lib not available error, 
virt-v2v -ic  xen+ssh://10.66.91.118 -o rhev  -osd
10.66.90.115:/vol/v2vwulinglu/wulingluv2v/fcp_export xen-rhel54-32-pv.raw
5,mv rhel software 
6,run the virt-v2v again, 
virt-v2v -ic  xen+ssh://10.66.91.118 -o rhev  -osd
10.66.90.115:/vol/v2vwulinglu/wulingluv2v/fcp_export xen-rhel54-32-pv.raw
7,if it recreate the transfer.iso, then it won't fail,

Comment 3 Huang Wenlong 2011-01-27 06:21:52 UTC 
verify this bug in rhel6 with : 

virt-v2v-0.7.1-1.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-1.7.17-11.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.8.7-2.el6.x86_64


setps: 

1.move the /var/lib/virt-v2v/software/rhel  and rm transfer.iso 
2. run virt-v2v  like : 
#virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://10.66.72.123 -op sdb1 -b breth0 rhel5u5-64b-pv-raw-intel
rhel5u5-64b-pv-raw-intel.img: 100% [==============================================================================================================]D 0h01m35s
virt-v2v: rhel5u5-64b-pv-raw-intel configured with virtio drivers


conversion is successful ,transfer.iso will be recreate ,the guest can work well 
3. move the rhel back 
4.delete the guest and convert again 
# virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://10.66.72.123 -op sdb1 -b breth0 rhel5u5-64b-pv-raw-intel
rhel5u5-64b-pv-raw-intel.img: 100% [==============================================================================================================]D 0h01m42s
virt-v2v: rhel5u5-64b-pv-raw-intel configured with virtio drivers


conversion is successful ,transfer.iso will be recreate,the guest can work well 

so bug is verified
