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.

Comment 3 Cui Lei 2012-04-27 07:12:00 UTC 
Converted citrix pv rhel5.8 x86_64 still met the same issue.
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-03 05:05:03 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 5 Matthew Booth 2012-10-24 09:03:10 UTC 
This is fixed upstream, but is targetted at RHEL 7.0. This feature isn't going to make it to RHEL 6.4.
Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2012-12-14 07:32:51 UTC 
This request was not resolved in time for the current release.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if still desired, for consideration in
the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

Comment 14 Richard W.M. Jones 2015-03-12 17:32:59 UTC 
I'm closing this bug:

 - virt-p2v has been rewritten for RHEL 7.2

 - Unofficial previews of the new version are available:
   http://oirase.annexia.org/virt-p2v/

 - If a similar bug occurs with the new version of virt-p2v,
   please open a new bug against Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 / libguestfs
