Hi folks,
I've tried to p2v an existing 18.04 physical box to KVM on a 18.04 server.
I used virt-p2v-make-disk on the server and created a USB stick, the utility used debian-9 image. The created image was problematic because it booted right into GUI login instead of the p2v GUI.
That was relative easy to fix, with chroot + useradd I created a local user on the stick and then started the process again. Then manually started the p2v GUI.
Now the process aborted with following message:
...
libguestfs: trace: v2v: command_lines = ["/.", "/usr", "/usr/share", "/usr/share/doc", "/usr/share/doc/linux-image-generic", "/usr/share/doc/linux-image-generic/changelog.gz", "/usr/share/doc/linux-image-generic/copyright"]
installed kernel packages in this guest:
virt-v2v: error: no installed kernel packages were found.
This probably indicates that virt-v2v was unable to inspect this guest properly.
...
...
A google search pointed me to this bug:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libgue...16daf84a92aae3
I believe the libguestfs version on 18.04 is too low?
/tmp/virt-p2v-20190821-eh2fpkpx# dpkg --list |grep libguestfs-tools
ii libguestfs-tools 1:1.36.13-1ubuntu3.3 amd64 guest disk image management system - tools
/tmp/virt-p2v-20190821-eh2fpkpx# virt-v2v -V
virt-v2v 1.36.13
It seems a bit wrong for 18.04 not being able to p2v its own version. So is there a plan to have a higher version update?
Sorry if I guess the wrong way.
Thanks,
Sean
