Description of problem: ttyS0 not preserved as a securetty in a v2v conversion of a Xen vm. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # virt-v2v --version 0.8.7 Steps to Reproduce: On Xen server 1. lvcreate -L 5G -n c5-remote <VolumeGroup> 2. virt-install --bridge=br0 --nographics --paravirt --file=/dev/<VolumeGroup>/c5-remote --location=http://<localmirror>/distros/centos/5/os/x86_64 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel5.4 --name=c5-remote --ram=512 --vcpus=1 3. shutdown On kvm server: 4. virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://root@<xen_server> -op vm_pool --bridge br0 c5-remote 5. virsh start c5-remote --console 6. login as root expected result: successful login actual result: failed login. I compared the filesystems of both the pre- and post-converted vm, and found that xvc0 was stripped from /etc/securetty and ttyS0 was not inserted in its place.
