virt-v2v is a tool for converting and importing virtual machines to libvirt-managed KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine), or Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. Using virt-v2v to convert a guest that has a password-protected VNC console to a KVM guest removed that password protection from the converted guest: after conversion, a password was not required to access the converted guest's VNC console. Now, converted guests will require the same VNC console password as the original guest. Note that when converting a guest to run on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, virt-v2v will display a warning that VNC passwords are not supported. (CVE-2011-1773) Note: The Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 perl-Sys-Virt update must also be installed to correct CVE-2011-1773. Bug fixes: * When converting a guest virtual machine (VM), whose name contained certain characters, virt-v2v would create a converted guest with a corrupted name. Now, virt-v2v will not corrupt guest names. (BZ#665883) * There were numerous usability issues when running virt-v2v as a non-root user. This update makes it simpler to run virt-v2v as a non-root user. (BZ#671094) * virt-v2v failed to convert a Microsoft Windows guest with Windows Recovery Console installed in a separate partition. Now, virt-v2v will successfully convert a guest with Windows Recovery Console installed in a separate partition by ignoring that partition. (BZ#673066) * virt-v2v failed to convert a Red Hat Enterprise Linux guest which did not have the symlink &quot /boot/grub/menu.lst&quot . With this update, virt-v2v can select a grub configuration file from several places. (BZ#694364) * This update removes information about the usage of deprecated command line options in the virt-v2v man page. (BZ#694370) * virt-v2v would fail to correctly change the allocation policy, (sparse or preallocated) when converting a guest with QCOW2 image format. The error message &quot Cannot import VM, The selected disk configuration is not supported&quot was displayed. With this update, allocation policy changes to a guest with QCOW2 storage will work correctly. (BZ#696089) * The options &quot --network&quot and &quot --bridge&quot can not be used in conjunction when converting a guest, but no error message was displayed. With this update, virt-v2v will now display an error message if the mutually exclusive &quot --network&quot and &quot --bridge&quot command line opti ...
