RHBA-2026:50161 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for virt-v2v is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10.

Description

The virt-v2v package provides a tool for converting virtual machines to use the KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) hypervisor or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. The tool modifies both the virtual machine image and its associated libvirt metadata. Also, virt-v2v can configure a guest to use VirtIO drivers if possible.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• regression converting ubuntu24.04 [rhel-10.2.z] (JIRA:RHEL-192921)
• RFE: virt-v2v option to collect Windows registry and event logs and other useful information [rhel-10.2.z] (JIRA:RHEL-192947)
• virt-v2v fails during migration of RHEL 7 VMs due to XFS filesystem errors, potentially related to RHEL 10.1 xfs_repair running against a RHEL 7 XFS filesystem [virt-v2v] [rhel-10.2.z] (JIRA:RHEL-192948)
• Set boot disk index for guests in virt-v2v-in-place / inspection XML output [rhel-10.2.z] (JIRA:RHEL-193138)
