V2V : virt-v2v supports up to 4 disk devices only
Hi everyone Hit an issues when attempting to migrate a VM using virt-v2v. Running it in TRACE and DEBUG mode showed the problem as :- "qemu: too many IDE bus" Seems that is only supports VM's with 4 or less associated storage devices. This issue is internally tracked by Bug 681255: Bug 681255 - virt-v2v failed with error https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=681255 Note: You will not be able to access above bugzilla because it is internal and private. Apparently, it's also 2 years old.

This is entirely based on assumption - but I believe a VM can only have 4 x IDE devices using other Enterprise Hypervisors. IIRC you would not be presented with the option to create additional IDE controllers either. I never questioned this as most of my physical machines (that had IDE) generally were limited to only 4 IDE devices and I just assumed that they were replicating the limitations of a physical IDE controller.
Does the VM you are migrating have more than 4 IDE devices? Or is the conversion detecting something incorrectly?
I understand you may not be looking for assistance, but if you figure out a workaround would you please update the thread as this sounds like a situation that other people may find themselves in.
Thanks!
