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.

Version-Release number of selected component:
rubygem-virt-p2v-0.8.6-1.el6
virt-v2v-0.8.7-3.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Also can find error in log:Error receiving data.


Expected Results:
It should be converted successfully.

Additional info:
The screenshot of p2v error is attached.

Lets track this here because this bug is critically important to virt-p2v, however it's actually a bug in libssh2. I've posted an upstream patch here:

http://www.libssh2.org/mail/libssh2-devel-archive-2012-03/0106.shtml

Verified this issue with :
Virt-P2V_0.8.6-2.iso
virt-v2v-0.8.7-4.el6.x86_64

Use virt-p2v to convert a physical machine with about 350G disk,it can convert successfully.So set the bug to VERIFIED.
