MTV fails to import OVA of a Suse Linux VM

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Importing a OVA of a Suse Linux VM with the Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) fails.
  • In the virt-v2v container we see this error:
virt-v2v: error: no kernels were found in the bootloader configuration.

This probably indicates that virt-v2v was unable to parse the bootloader configuration of this guest.

Environment

  • OpenShift Container Platform (OCP) 4.17
  • OpenShift Virtualization 4.17
  • Migration Toolkit for Virtualization (MTV) 2.7.11
  • Suse Linux VM OVA
