virt-p2v log file for conversion of xen server
The warning about the Xen kernel is ugly, but it looks like a red herring here as the code just skips on to the next kernel. We probably could do a better job of detecting the version number from a Xen kernel, but as I said elsewhere: V2V of a Xen server makes no sense, so this would be exceptionally low priority! The real issue here is why the guest doesn't boot. For that we're going to need all the boot messages. I think the best way to capture these will be from a serial console. You can do this by configuring the serial console either before conversion or after, whichever suits you best. However, if you configure it after conversion you'll obviously have to use guestfish as the guest doesn't boot! Also you'll have to convert to a libvirt target not a RHEV target, as RHEV doesn't support serial console. Once you've done the above, can you also please remove the kernel parameters 'rhgb' and 'quiet' from grub, then capture the boot process using 'virsh console ...'. Could you also please attach the initrd of the kernel it's failing to boot. If it's easier, you can just do the conversion to libvirt, then send me the login details to examine the non-booting guest. 1.Use p2v to convert the rhel5 on MD device to libvirt,configured rhe serial console. 2.Remove the kernel parameters 'rhgb' and 'quiet' from grub,capture the boot process: # virsh console md-rhel5-reproduce Connected to domain md-rhel5-reproduce Escape character is ^] Memory for crash kernel (0x0 to 0x0) notwithin permissible range WARNING calibrate_APIC_clock: the APIC timer calibration may be wrong.

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. 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 |
