[Libguestfs] virt-v2v -ic question

[Tingting Zheng]

You should use vcenter and virt-v2v command like: virt-v2v -ic vpx://example.com/Datacenter/esxi esx_guest
Detailed info pls refer to virt-v2v manual:
Convert from VMware vCenter server to local libvirt
   You have a VMware vCenter server called "esx.example.com", a datacenter called "Datacenter", and an ESXi
   hypervisor called "esxi".  You want to convert a guest called "esx_guest" to run locally under libvirt.

   virt-v2v -ic vpx://example.com/Datacenter/esxi esx_guest

   In this case you will most likely have to run virt-v2v as "root", since it needs to talk to the system
   libvirt daemon and copy the guest disks to "/var/lib/libvirt/images".

   For more information see "INPUT FROM VMWARE VCENTER SERVER" below.

Build the latest qemu, set the PATH and LIBGUESTFS_HV variables and still got
the error, any idea?
