search for: dcpath

With modern libvirt, when fetching the XML of a VMware guest libvirt passes us the datacenter path (dcpath). However with older libvirt we had to guess this value, or else the user had to supply it on the command line. This commit removes all the guessing code and the --dcpath parameter (which will now give an error). This requires libvirt >= 1.2.20 for virt-v2v, released Oct 2015. --- v2v/cmdlin...

The first commit removes the --dcpath parameter, which just makes the following stuff simpler. Since libvirt has supported getting datacenterpath from VMware since Oct 2015, it's time to drop this hairy parameter. The rest is quite a complicated series of refactorings, followed by a very simple change to add handling of snapshots...

Calculate dcPath correctly for vCenter conversions. Rich.

See earlier thread on libvir-list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-September/thread.html#00201 Libvirt >= 1.2.20 supplies the correct dcPath parameter. If it is available in the libvirt XML, use it, otherwise fall back to the old method of trying to guess it from the vpx:// path. Patches 1, 2 and 4 are just refactoring around this change. Rich.

Patch 1 was previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-June/msg00086.html to handle this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1848862 I was able to observe this bug and for me at least disabling readahead seems to cure it. Patches 2 and 3 are simplifications, removing a now-undocumented feature of virt-v2v-copy-to-local and thus simplifying greatly the

Use -ip instead of --password-file, and various refactorings. It strikes me that we should probably deprecate and eventually remove virt-v2v-copy-to-local. With the introduction of the new SSH and VDDK transports, and with RHEL 5 Xen becoming more irrelevant, it's no longer needed. Rich.

It turns out that RHEL 5 Xen conversions don't work if the source disk is located on a block device. See patch 1/4 for the gory details. This patch series proposes a new tool called virt-v2v-copy-to-local which essentially is a way to make new virt-v2v work like the old virt-v2v, ie. copy first, convert after. Of course this is very slow and would only be used as a last resort, but I
