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 Matthew Booth 2012-01-31 14:05:50 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #785844 +++

Description of problem:

virt-v2v hangs if source server has a ssh banner when using -ic xen+ssh:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

0.8.3

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a banner on source server
2. Run something like

   virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://root.10.10 -os STGPOOL --bridge br0 XenVM

3.
  
Actual results:

virt-v2v just hangs, no error.


Expected results:

virt-v2v completes and migrates Xen VM.


Additional info:

I get around the problem by adding a -q to the ssh command in /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/Transfer/SSH.pm
Comment 1 Matthew Booth 2012-01-31 14:30:39 UTC 
Fixed upstream in commit 9b6ca6545aa9be45f4133a8f13ebf6d267a60f9e.
Comment 2 Matthew Booth 2012-01-31 14:31:37 UTC 
Documentation note: this bug applies equally to xen+ssh and qemu+ssh.
Comment 3 Rita Wu 2012-02-01 10:20:24 UTC 
Can reproduce it with virt-v2v-0.8.3-5.el6.x86_64.
1. create /etc/ssh/ssh_banner and add the banner info in it
2. update sshd config file:

# no default banner path
#Banner /path/banner file
Banner /etc/ssh/ssh_banner

3. restart sshd in source server
4. convert the vm in source server -> hang
Comment 5 tingting zheng 2012-02-07 07:49:53 UTC 
Tested the bug with virt-v2v-0.8.6-1.el6.x86_64 as comment 3 shows.
It can convert xen guests successfully with banner info in source server.
