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 Rita Wu 2010-08-18 08:33:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
Now /var/lib/virt-v2v/software/windows won't be there when installing V2V.But 
firstboot.bat and rhev-apt.exe are still specified in the old path in virt-v2v.conf as below, so it will fail to convert Windows guests due to missing firstboot.bat and rhev-apt.exe

 <!-- This is a script, so arch-independent -->
  <app os='windows' name='firstboot'>
    <path>windows/firstboot.bat</path>
  </app>
  <app os='windows' name='firstbootapp'>
    <path>windows/rhev-apt.exe</path>
  </app>

  <!-- Default file locations -->
  <path-root>/var/lib/virt-v2v/software</path-root>
  <iso-path>/var/lib/virt-v2v/transfer.iso</iso-path>


# ls /var/lib/virt-v2v/software/
rhel


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.6.2-2.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install virt-v2v-0.6.2-2.el6.x86_64
2. # virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://10.66.93.224 -o rhev -osd 10.66.90.115:/vol/v2vrwu/rwuv2v/xen_export 2k3-32b-hv-raw-intel
virt-v2v: Installation failed because the following files referenced in the configuration file are required, but missing: windows/firstboot.bat windows/rhev-apt.exe windows/rhsrvany.exe


  
Actual results:
Fail to convert Windows guests

Expected results:
Install firstboot.bat and rhev.exe in /var/lib/virt-v2v/software/windows so it can convert Windows guests successfully.

Comment 2 Rita Wu 2010-08-18 08:52:36 UTC 
Although we can have a workaround(copy firstboot.bat ,etc from old version of v2v), I'm afraid it is not a best choice. So set it as TestBlocker.
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2010-08-18 08:58:10 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 5 Matthew Booth 2010-08-18 13:02:44 UTC 
This is a regression caused by the fix for bug 617635. We'll track this there.
