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 2010-12-28 05:23:34 UTC
Description of problem:
Before conversion, the display type of the VM is Spice/sdl, but after conversion, the display type will become VNC, no matter converting to RHEVM or libvirtpool.

RHEVM has Spice, so I think it's better to stay the previous display type, if possible.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.6.2-4.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a VM with display type of Spice
...
<graphics type='spice' port='5901' tlsPort='-1' autoport='yes'/>
...
2. Convert the VM to RHEVM
3. Import the VM
4. Check Virtual Machine=>VM=>General=>Default Display Type
  
Actual results:
The display type will become VNC

Expected results:

The display type will stay Spice/SDL

Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 04:49:43 UTC
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 5 yuping zhang 2012-10-25 07:55:27 UTC
As many users use spice in RHEVM,improve this bug's Priority to High.
Until now,after convert a guest which console is spice,the guest console will change to VNC.

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 07:33:21 UTC
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 9 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-18 11:17:10 UTC
Virt-v2v needs to run on the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux release
to ensure it can correctly read and modify new guest filesystem
features.  A new version of virt-v2v is now available for RHEL 7.1.

Before RHEL 7.1 is released, follow the instructions here to
install unsupported preview packages on top of RHEL 7.0:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-May/msg00090.html

After RHEL 7.1 is released, virt-v2v will be available in
Technical Preview.

You can run virt-v2v in a single virtual machine.  Other
requirements are covered here:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#resource-requirements

If you find a missing feature or bug in the new version of virt-v2v
please file a bug using the following link:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Red%20Hat%20Enterprise%20Linux%207&component=libguestfs
