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 james labocki 2011-06-17 13:44:05 UTC 
Description of problem:
This is an RFE to support import of standalone virtual machine into a RHEV export domain. Currently, the only supported methods are from a running hypervisor. Often, users of RHEV may only be provided an exported virtual machine image on media (USB HDD, DVD, etc) and would like to import this into a RHEV environment.

Expected results:
The following command should be supported:
virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -o rhev -os 1.2.3.4:/exportdomain filename-libvirt.xml
Comment 2 Richard W.M. Jones 2011-06-17 15:48:07 UTC 
Depends on qemu VMDK support being fixed (bug 548723).
Comment 5 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-10 08:23:40 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 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-07-11 01:59:27 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 7 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 08:19:12 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 14 Burnce 2014-08-25 12:42:02 UTC 
Any idea when this will be resolved? The issue seems quite inactive, but at least for us it is still clearly a desired feature.
Comment 15 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-08-25 12:48:52 UTC 
You can follow development upstream on the mailing list, eg
latest thread from today:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2014-August/msg00203.html

and in the git repository.  See http://libguestfs.org/ for more links.
Comment 16 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-11-18 11:20:00 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
