Fixed In Version: libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.4
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
The VMX parser in libvirt did not parse more than four network interfaces. As a consequence, the esx driver did not expose more than four network interface cards (NICs) for guests running ESXi. With this update, the VMX parser parses all the available NICs in .vmx files. As a result, libvirt reports all the NICs of guests running ESXi.

Comment 6 kuwei@redhat.com 2018-04-24 11:09:12 UTC 
Try to verify the bug with below builds:
libvirt-3.9.0-14.el7_5.4.x86_64
virt-v2v-1.36.10-6.el7_5.2.x86_64
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.2.x86_64

Test steps：
Scenario 1:
1.Prepare a rhel7.4 guest on ESXi 6.5 with 10 NIC.
2.Using virsh dumpxm the guest xml.
#virsh -c vpx://root@vcenter/data/ESXi/?no_verify=1
virsh # dumpxml esx6.5-rhel7.4-x64-vmware-tools

3.Using virt-v2v to convert the guest to kvm and RHV

4.From Steps 2, all the NIC could be list, from steps 3, the guest could converted by virt-v2v and all the NIC could list.

Scenario 2:
1.Prepare a rhel7.4 guest on ESXi 6.0/5.5/5.1 with 10 NIC.
2.Using virsh dumpxml the guest xml.
3.Using virt-v2v to convert the guest to kvm and RHV

4.From Steps 2, all the NIC could be list, from steps 3, the guest could converted by virt-v2v and all the NIC could list.


Scenario 3:
1.Prepare a rhel7.4 guest on ESXi 6.5 with 10 NIC(5 e1000, 5 VMXNET3).
2.Using virsh dumpxml the guest xml.
3.Using virt-v2v to convert the guest to kvm and RHV

4.From Steps 2, all the NIC could be list, from steps 3, the guest could converted and all the NIC could list.

Scenario 3:
1.Prepare a windows10 guest on ESXi 6.5 with 10 NIC(5 e1000, 5 VMXNET3).
2.Using virsh dumpxml the guest xml.
3.Using virt-v2v to convert the guest to kvm and RHV

4.From Steps 2, all the NIC could be list, from steps 3, the guest could converted and all the NIC could list.

So, I think the bug has been fix, move the bug to VERIFIED
