  • V2V : virt-v2v failure - No bootable kernels installed, and no replacement is available.

    Posted on

    Hi

     

    Attempting to use virt-v2v to migrate RH KVM guest to RHEV3. 

    Everything seemed to be going well  but then fell in a heap. Any ideas ?

     

    # virt-v2v -ic qemu+ssh://root@lhpkvm02a.pgds.local/system -o rhev -os lhprevm01.pgds.local:/rhev-export/export --network rhevm lhpbdsl01v

    lhpbdsl01v-rootvg: 100% [========================================================================================================
    lhpbdsl01v-appvg: 100% [=====================================================================================================================]D 0h49m06s
    find: failed to restore initial working directory: Permission denied

    virt-v2v: Installation failed because the following files referenced in the configuration file are required, but missing: rhel/5/kernel-2.6.18-128.el5.x86_64.rpm rhel/5/ecryptfs-utils-56-8.el5.x86_64.rpm rhel/5/ecryptfs-utils-56-8.el5.i386.rpm
