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 of problem:
When use virt-v2v to convert guest,there is error:set_autosync: this function can only be called in the config state at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 107.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.8.7-1.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-3.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-1.16.6-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
# virt-v2v  -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b breth0 kvm-rhel5.7-i386
kvm-rhel5.7-i386.img: 100% [======================================================================================]D 0h02m20s
set_autosync: this function can only be called in the config state at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 107.


Actual results:
virt-v2v failed and message printed:set_autosync: this function can only be called in the config state at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/GuestfsHandle.pm line 107.


Expected results:
It should convert successfully.

 
Additional info:
Tested with libguestfs-1.16.5-1.el6.x86_64,virt-v2v can convert successfully.

There are actually two issues here:

- the fix for bug 796520 is wrong: set_autosync affects the
  close call and does not need to be called only in the config state.

- autosync is the default (since libguestfs 1.6 / RHEL 6.1) and so
  virt-v2v does not need to set this.

Thanks,rjones. Reassign the bug to libguestfs and add the regression keywords.
