- If you are converting Windows virtual machines, you must install the libguestfs-winsupport and virtio-win packages. These packages provide support for NTFS and Windows paravirtualized block and network drivers.
- If you attempt to convert a virtual machine using NTFS without the libguestfs-winsupport package installed, the conversion will fail.
- If you attempt to convert a virtual machine running Windows without the virtio-win package installed, the conversion will fail giving an error message concerning missing files.
The libguestfs-winsupport is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server V2V Tools for Windows (v. 6) channel, while the virtio-win package is available in the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Supplementary (v. 6) channel. To install these packages, ensure that your system has the required permissions to subscribe to both channels and run the following command as root:# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-v2vwin-1-rpms --enable rhel-6-server-supplementary-rpms
