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 a guest,failed to install packages with yum during conversion

Version-Release number of selected component:
virt-v2v-0.8.7-3.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-3.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-1.16.8-1.el6.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always

Step to Reproduce:
1.Add items to install custom packages during linux conversions in /etc/virt-v2v.conf.
  <capability os='linux' distro='rhel' major='6' name='user-custom'>
    <dep name='zsh' minversion='4.3.10-4.1.el6' />
  </capability>

    <app os='linux' distro='rhel' major='6' arch='x86_64' name='zsh'>
    <path>rhel/6/zsh-4.3.10-4.1.el6.x86_64.rpm</path>
  </app>

2.Download zsh-4.3.10-4.1.el6.x86_64.rpm and put it under
/var/lib/virt-v2v/software/rhel/6.

3.Prepare a guest configured with yum repo.

4.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest:
# virt-v2v  -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b breth0 kvm-rhel6.2-x86_64-qcow2
rhel6u1-64b-qcow2: 100% [=========================================================================================]D 0h02m33s

Additional info:
Before and after conversion,the network of the guest is ok.

Use guestfish to debug the problem:
# guestfish -a /var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel6u1-64b-qcow2 

Welcome to guestfish, the libguestfs filesystem interactive shell for
editing virtual machine filesystems.

Fixed in upstream commit ce8aba5161a28d27af4438031ba586d3c918d4e8
Comment 5 tingting zheng 2012-03-09 07:13:46 UTC 
Tested the bug with:
virt-v2v-0.8.7-4.el6.x86_64
libvirt-0.9.10-4.el6.x86_64
libguestfs-1.16.8-1.el6.x86_64

Steps:
1.Add items to install custom packages during linux conversions in
/etc/virt-v2v.conf.
  <capability os='linux' distro='rhel' major='6' name='user-custom'>
    <dep name='zsh' minversion='4.3.10-4.1.el6' />
  </capability>

    <app os='linux' distro='rhel' major='6' arch='x86_64' name='zsh'>
    <path>rhel/6/zsh-4.3.10-4.1.el6.x86_64.rpm</path>
  </app>

2.Prepare a guest configured with yum repo.

3.Use virt-v2v to convert the guest:
# virt-v2v  -ic qemu+ssh://10.66.72.122/system -os default -b switch kvm-rhel6.2-x86_64-qcow2
rhel6u1-64b-qcow2: 100% [=========================================================================================]D 0h01m52s
virt-v2v: WARNING: The connected hypervisor does not support feature pae.
virt-v2v: kvm-rhel6.2-x86_64-qcow2 configured with virtio drivers.

4.After conversion,check the guest,the package has been installed.

So change the status of the bug to VERIFIED.
