[Libguestfs] P2V conversion failed with "/run/lvm/lvmetad.socket: connect failed: No such file or directory"

[Tejas Gadaria]

Hi Richard,

We have generated .iso on Physical server and tried booting same with
"livecd-p2v-*.iso", and we are getting "unexpected end of file waiting for
password prompt" error. Also we are  not able to execute "/sbin/ifconfig"
or "ip a" binaries on Physical server after booting from livecd.

We have attached "p2v.ks" file and "livecd-creator p2v.ks" logs for
your reference. Hope it might be helpful.

Thanks,
Tejas
