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.

Fixed In Version: virt-v2v-0.8.9-1.el6
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: virt-v2v renames block devices in various guest config files, including /etc/fstab, during conversion. It emits a warning if it encounters a reference to a block device it doesn't know about. Consequence: virt-v2v would emit a redundant warning if a guest's /etc/fstab referenced /etc/fd0. Fix: Warnings about floppy devices are now explicitly suppressed. Result: virt-v2v no longer emits a warning.

Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2013:0477 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE virt-v2v bug fix and enhancement update 2013-02-20 21:06:46 UTC

Description tingting zheng 2012-02-17 10:10:21 UTC 
Description of problem:
When convert guests contained a reference to the floppy disk (/dev/fd0),virt-v2v prints waring:WARNING:/boot/grub/device.map references unknown device /dev/fd0

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.8.6-1.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-1.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-1.16.5-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use virt-v2v to convert a rhel4u8 guest.
Before conversion, the rhel4u8 guest has fd0 in /boot/grub.device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/hda

# virt-v2v  -ic xen+ssh://10.66.72.123 -os default xen-hvm-rhel4.8-i386
root.72.123's password: 
root.72.123's password:

virt-v2v: WARNING: /boot/grub/device.map references unknown device /dev/fd0. This entry must be manually fixed after conversion.
virt-v2v: WARNING: The connected hypervisor does not support feature pae.
virt-v2v: WARNING: No mapping found for bridge interface xenbr0 in config file. The converted guest may not start until its network interface is updated.
virt-v2v: xen-hvm-rhel4.8-i386 configured with virtio drivers.

2.After conversion,check /boot/grub/device.map
(fd0) /dev/fd0
(hd0) /dev/vda

Actual results:
There is warning:virt-v2v: WARNING: /boot/grub/device.map references unknown device /dev/fd0. This entry must be manually fixed after conversion.

Expected results:
There should be no warning as actual results.

Additional info:
When tested with virt-v2v-0.8.3-5.el6.x86_64,there is no such warning.

Comment 3 tingting zheng 2012-03-01 02:41:39 UTC 
Also tested converting a vm with a cdrom device specified in fstab,virt-v2v will print waring:/etc/fstab references unknown device /dev/hdc.

Steps:
1.Before conversion,prepare a vm with a cdrom device specified in fstab
in guest,fstab entry:
/dev/hdc   /media/cdrom    auto    pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

2.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest.

virt-v2v: rhel4-32-hvm-min configured with virtio drivers.
Comment 6 Matthew Booth 2012-10-16 10:50:33 UTC 
This is fixed upstream in commit 6924a592223b52f707868a84b98865391c03d7c3
Comment 8 Cui Lei 2012-10-24 05:36:09 UTC 
Verified partial failed, so move the status to "Assigned".
Summary:
Convert guest with floppy verified passed, but Converted a guest with CDrom(In comment 3), the warning message still popup.

Failed Detail please refer to below:

1. Before conversion,prepare a vm with a cdrom device specified in fstab
in guest,fstab entry:
/dev/hdc   /media/cdrom    auto    pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

2. Convert from Xen to KVM:
[root@andytest ~]# virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://10.66.72.23 -os default -b br0 rhel4-32-hvm-min
root.72.23's password:
root.72.23's password:
rhel4-32-hvm-min.img: 100% [==============================================================================================================================]D 0h00m42s
virt-v2v: WARNING: /etc/fstab references unknown device /dev/hdc. This entry must be manually fixed after conversion.
virt-v2v: rhel4-32-hvm-min configured with virtio drivers.

The warning message mentioned in Comment 3 still existed

3. After conversion,check guest file /etc/fstab
/dev/hda   /media/cdrom    auto    pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

So change the status to "ASSIGNED"
Comment 9 Matthew Booth 2012-10-24 08:38:45 UTC 
The bug specifically references fd0, but the test was of hdc. The hdc warning is different, and needs a different bug.
