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. Additional info:
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.
