[6.0] virt-v2v can't migrate from a VMware ESX's guest OS whose name contains '(' or '#'.
Issue
-
A guest OS whose name contains special characters such as "(" or "#" can't be created on KVM, but can on VMware ESX.
-
In the case that a VMware ESX's guest OS's name is "RHEL5.5#1" for example, virt-v2v fails to migrate from the guest OS to KVM with an error message. Our partner suspects that this is due to a bug of virt-v2v.
