Hi @kimchheng-dev Have you noticed any errors during virt-v2v conversion in the KVM host agent logs? Can you share the agent log.

[kimchheng-dev]

Hello, @sureshanaparti I got log like this in KVM Host.

@kimchheng-dev Noticed below logs, can you try to boot with UEFI mode. Sometimes conversion is success, but maybe due to virt-v2v guest OS incompatibilty, will fail to boot.

Hello, I cannot find a way to modify boot option of CloudStack instance after imported? Look like this option available only in New VM deployment.

[sureshanaparti]

Try after VM detail/setting update - UEFI: LEGACY.

[kimchheng-dev]

Hello this option is not working and I still got the same error. And here's the management log.

Ok, Can you share the host details (OS, arch) used for conversion. Check the supported conversions list here: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473
