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).

v2v conversion log

Description of problem:
Make a snapshot for a VMware ESX guest,then update the guest(install/uninstall software) or copy/paste some files,convert the guest to rhev,it only converted the snapshot,not convert the update bases on snapshot. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.7.1-4.el6.x86_64

libguestfs-1.7.17-14.el6.x86_64

libguestfs-*-1.7.17-14.el6.x86_64

libvirt-0.8.7-8.el6.x86_64 

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Make a snapshot for ESX guest which installed VMware tools.
2.Start the guest,and uninstall VMware tools(or make other change to guest).
3.Convert the guest:
#LIBGUESTFS_TRACE=1 virt-v2v -ic esx://10.66.72.79/?no_verify=1 -o rhev -osd 10.66.90.115:/vol/v2vrwu1/rwu_export ESX4.1-winxp-32bit>/tmp/ESX4.1-winxp-32bit-conversion.log 2>&1
4.On RHEVM,run it,and check the if the VMware tools uninstalled. 


Actual results:
VMware tools still on the guest,v2v convert the snapshot to rhev. 

Expected results:
VMware tools  shouldn't installed on the guest,v2v should convert the latest guest status not only snapshot. 

Additional info:
As snapshot is used more frequently on VMware ESX server,so make the Priority to high.

This feature requires proper support for VMDK, which we don't have.

Comment 3 Suzanne Logcher 2011-03-28 21:16:47 UTC
Since RHEL 6.1 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains 
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as an 
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 8 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 07:20:47 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 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:59:14 UTC
This request was erroneously removed from consideration in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4, which is currently under development.  This request will be evaluated for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4.

Comment 12 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-18 11:17:40 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:
