xen to kvm migration using virt-v2v

Question

I am seeing error connecting when I try to connect for conversion of xen-vm to kvm.

I am use virt-manager w/o problems.

Errors seen:

[root@localhost ~]# virt-v2v -v -x -ic "xen+ssh://10.61.0.47" "LAC-Venu" -o local -os /vm-images/
virt-v2v: libguestfs 1.28.1 (x86_64)

virt-v2v: error: internal error: invalid argument: cannot open libvirt 
connection 'xen+ssh://10.61.0.47'

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output:

virt-v2v -v -x [...]

Try to install netcat, as your error message clearly states you don't have nc installed. — Janne Pikkarainen, Jul 11 '16 at 07:24
i am seeing following [root@localhost ~]# nc --version Ncat: Version 6.40 ( http://nmap.org/ncat ) [root@localhost ~]# is it not so netcat is installed — Venumadhav Josyula, Jul 11 '16 at 07:34

Libvirt is trying to start netcat on the remote system, but it is not installed.

This is shown by the error returned from the remote system:

libvirt: XML-RPC error : End of file while reading data: sh: nc: command not found: Input/output error

To fix the problem, install netcat on the remote system.
