similar to: [v2v PATCH] vCenter: fix parsing of HTTP status string (RHBZ#1837328)

The curl binary is used in the VCenter module, so require it up-front. This let us remove the need to point the user to check whether curl is installed in an error message. --- v2v/input_libvirt_vcenter_https.ml | 13 ++++++++++++- v2v/vCenter.ml | 2 +- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/input_libvirt_vcenter_https.ml

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

This implements a missing feature from old virt-v2v, namely being able to cope with a guest with snapshots. Note this only converts the top (latest) snapshot. As in old virt-v2v it does NOT convert the whole chain of snapshots. --- v2v/vCenter.ml | 28 ++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 1 file changed, 24 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/vCenter.ml b/v2v/vCenter.ml index

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 taken from old virt-v2v. Rich.

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.

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.

Hi, I am encountering an issue with virt-v2v where I need to authenticate to the vCenter as DOMAIN\user. I have tried the following with the resulting errors: 1. 'virt-v2v -v -x -ic 'vpx://vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' vm_name -o local -of raw -os /tmp' - prompted for username password - entered 'DOMAIN\User' as username - successfully

Change the Curl module to use an ADT to store the name of the curl binary and the arguments. The callers in virt-v2v are changed accordingly. This also adds a (currently unused) ?proxy argument to allow callers to override the proxy. It also adds some safety arguments implicitly. --- mllib/curl.ml | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ mllib/curl.mli | 50

Thanks Bart. Unfortunately "The VIB module does not comply with the security recommendations imposed by VMWare. You lose VMWare support by installing this package." This pretty much rules out this option. :( We need vCenter support, as well. nomad On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 10:06 AM Bart J.

Change the Curl module to use an ADT to store the name of the curl binary and the arguments. Also add Curl.safe_args, a list of arguments that control redirects etc. The callers in virt-v2v are changed accordingly. There is also a (currently unused) args_of_proxy function allowing proxy parameters to be set. --- mllib/curl.ml | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-----------

That's certainly on the list of options. I'm doing data gathering right now to see what options there are. I'd prefer not to rashly decide to run off in a direction only to discover this is already a Solved Problem. nomad On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 1:13 PM Bart J.

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. ---

Is anyone using NUT to signal/control vCenter and vServer (6.x) for shutdown when batteries are getting low? Any recommendations? We've found https://4sysops.com/archives/startup-and-shutdown-a-vmware-cluster-with-powercli-and-powershell/ but I'd prefer to do this from the master (which is running CentOS 8) and not pollute it by installing PS on it. thanks, nomad -------------- next part

Calculate dcPath correctly for vCenter conversions. Rich.

Add a common debug function for printing debugging messages. It only emits the debug message when the verbose (-v) flag is used on the command line. It sends the output to stderr, which is flushed immediately after the message is printed (to help with debugging unexpected crashes). There are good arguments for sending the debug to either stdout or stderr, and almost all existing debug messages

This series (except the last one) changes virt-v2v to use nbdkit for several input modes: -i vmx -it vddk: No change in functionality, as this already uses nbdkit-vddk-plugin, but the code is refactored for the other modes to use. -i libvirtxml: Use nbdkit-curl-plugin instead of qemu curl. vCenter: Use nbdkit-curl-plugin instead of qemu curl. xen: Use nbdkit-ssh-plugin instead of qemu
