File remove_esx_examples.patch of Package virt-v2v

SLES12 does not ship an ESX libvirt driver. This patch removes samples
and documentation for this type of connection from the virt-v2v help
screen and man page. It also removes documentation regarding exporting
a guest to RHEV.

-=head1 CONVERTING A GUEST FROM VMWARE ESX
-
-B<N.B.> libvirt version 0.7.0 or greater is required to connect to ESX.
-
-virt-v2v can convert a guest from VMware ESX, including transferring its
-storage.
-
-B<N.B.> virt-v2v does not transfer snapshots from ESX. Only the latest flat
-storage is transferred.
-
-The guest MUST be shut down in ESX before conversion starts. virt-v2v will not
-proceed if the guest is still running. To convert the guest, run:
-
- virt-v2v -ic esx://<esx.server>/ -os <pool> [--network <network name>] \
-          <domain>
-
-where:
-
-=over
-
-=item *
-
-E<lt>esx.serverE<gt> is the hostname of the ESX server hosting the guest to be
-converted.
-
-B<N.B.> This hostname must match the hostname reported in the ESX server's SSL
-certificate, or verification will fail.
-
-=item *
-
-E<lt>poolE<gt> is the name of the local storage pool where copies of the guest's
-storage will be created.
-
-=item *
-
-E<lt>domainE<gt> is the name of the guest on the ESX server which is to be
-converted.
-
-=back
-
-The I<--network> option may be provided for simple network mappings. For more
-complex mappings, see L<virt-v2v.conf(5)>.
-
-=head2 Authenticating to the ESX server
-
-Connecting to the ESX server will require authentication. virt-v2v supports
-password authentication when connecting to ESX. It reads passwords from
-$HOME/.netrc. The format of this file is described in L<netrc(5)>. An example
-entry is:
-
- machine esx01.example.com login root password s3cr3t
-
-B<N.B.> The permissions of .netrc MUST be set to 0600, or it will be ignored.
-
-=head2 Connecting to an ESX server with an invalid certificate
-
-In non-production environments, the ESX server may have an invalid certificate,
-for example a self-signed certificate. In this case, certificate checking can be
-explicitly disabled by adding '?no_verify=1' to the connection URI as shown
-below:
-
- ... -ic esx://<esx.server>/?no_verify=1 ...
-
-=head1 EXPORTING A GUEST TO RHEV
-
-virt-v2v can export to RHEV any guest that it can convert. This includes:
-

-
-Local Xen guests
-

-

-To export to RHEV, specify I<-o rhev> on the command line, and ensure I<-os>
