As we can convert a remote KVM VM  to RHEV use command:

virt-v2v -icqemu+ssh://root.com/system  -o rhev -os storage.example.com:/exportdomain --network rhevm vm-name


In chapter 3,it's better to add this:converting a remote KVM virtual machine to RHEV.
It's more useful for customer if the virt-v2v host is different from a KVM host which running VMs.


Set Priority and priority to high,high, as it's better to fix this doc bug in
rhel-6.1.0.

Verified Section 3.2.2.6 Converting a remote KVM Virtual Machine.

http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/96/html/V2V_Guide/convert-a-remote-kvm-guest.html

Added converting a remote KVM virtual machine to RHEV in Guide,that's fine to me.

But in 3.2.2.5. Converting a local KVM Virtual Machine
 http://documentation-stage.bne.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/96/html/V2V_Guide/convert-a-local-kvm-guest.html
I found the command changed from:

virt-v2v -o rhev -os storage.example.com:/exportdomain --network rhevm vm-name

to

virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://root.com/system -o rhev -os storage.example.com:/exportdomain --network rhevm vm-name

-ic URI Specifies the connection to use when using the libvirt input method. If omitted, this defaults to qemu:///system.So if convert a local KVM VM,there is no need to add -ic qemu+ssh://... 

Hi Cheryn,can you confirm it?

Yes you're right, good catch. I must've changed it by accident. It's fixed now.
