Thats is , you have ‘Virt-P2V.iso’ in your current directory!!

[root@]# ls -lh Virt-P2V.iso
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 117M Jun 6 23:52 Virt-P2V.iso
[root@]#

Now, you run a virt-p2v client using this newly created ISO !!!

Let me know if you come across any errors while doing this..

I’ve tried to do as you did.
unfortunately :
Installati: vim-minimal ##################### [291/290]
Installati: strace ##################### [292/290]

Error creating Live CD : Unable to run [‘/usr/bin/firewall-offline-cmd’, ‘–enabled’]!
Any help would be appreciated !

  Hi Francois,
  
  Which version of livecd-tools is in place here ? Also, can u disable ‘selinux’ and give a try?

I’m having the same issue as the other commenter described. I did disable selinux and reboot but got the same error. Here is my version of livecd-tools. I attempted to install the EPEL version instead but haven’t succeeded at that yet.
