Wow, thank you for the in depth information. I will have to take some time to get this down.

I tested a while back and the package was available, although I forget the version I used. Anyway, it's no big deal, can easily be worked around. So these are the files the RPM installs (as of 08-02-2024), they are basically drivers for Windows: https://pastebin.com/raw/WDH51ZYJ I believe virt-v2v expects them in the same location, namely /usr/share/virtio-win. There are multiple ways to do this. Examples: 1 - convert the RPM into a deb package and install it: # download the rpm wget https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.noarch.rpm # install "alien" which can convert rpms to debs apt -y install alien # the conversion, can take a while alien -d virtio-win.noarch.rpm # install the resulting deb dpkg -i virtio-win*.deb 2 - download and extract the RPM contents # download the rpm wget https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-virtio/virtio-win.noarch.rpm # install the required software to inspect rpm packages sudo apt -y install rpm2cpio cpio # create a working directory and cd into it mkdir virtio-rpm cd virtio-rpm # extract rpm2cpio ../virtio-win*.noarch.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories # copy the files in the right place sudo cp -av usr/share/* /usr/share/ You need to do this on every hypervisor you expect to be running virt-v2v.
