Basic virt-p2v Configuration

After a successful P2V conversion with virt-p2v Live CD, you might need to re-define your new Virtual Machine, to do that, copy one of the XML config file below and define your img with "virsh define config.cfg"


#virt-p2v quiet usefull program but its cfg file needs to be fixed

#This is for Physical to Full Virtualization
