As Arik says, you should _not_ use virt-v2v when moving from KVM to KVM.

However this _is_ the intended use case for virt-v2v.

We recently added upstream support to directly upload VMs to OpenStack:

  http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#output-to-openstack

It's available in Fedora Rawhide or by compiling from source, and will
be part of the next upstream release of libguestfs (1.40, soonish).

Also I have built a virt-v2v package which supports ‘-o openstack’ for
RHEL 7.6 which you can install from this repository:

  https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-v2v-RHEL-7.6-lp/

We're also developing a graphical user interface to drive this as part
of the ManageIQ project.

  http://manageiq.org/

But right now you have to read the manual and drive it from the
command line.
