6.2. Debugging P2V conversions

Problems encountered during P2V conversion can be more easily explained to engineers or support services if debugging messages are enabled when running virt-p2v.

P2V debugging is available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 and above.

To enable P2V debugging, select the Enable server-side debugging check box on the convert screen in the virt-p2v client before clicking the Convert button.

This instructs the server to write LIBGUESTFS_TRACE and LIBGUESTFS_DEBUG output during the virt-p2v conversion process.

Refer to Chapter 5, Converting physical machines to virtual machines for instructions on using virt-p2v.
