Libguestfs - Dec 2016 - [PATCH v3] v2v: -o vdsm: Add --vdsm-compat flag. -o rhev: Drop support for RHV < 4.1 (RHBZ#1400205).

v3:

Change the flag from --vdsm-compat-11 to --vdsm-compat=1.1

Also the --machine-readable output has changed.

I have also added a test.

Rich.

Support for RHEV with RHEL 6 nodes required us to output the old style
qcow2 compat=0.10 images.  Since RHEV 3.6 GA, RHEL 6 has not been
supported as a RHEV node type.  Since RHV 4.1, compat=1.1 is
supported.  (Support for compat=1.1 is uncertain in RHV 4.0 even on
RHEL 7 nodes.)

There are significant downsides to using qcow2 compat=0.10 instead of
the modern default (compat=1.1).

Therefore this patch does two things:

For -o rhev, it drops support for compat=0.10 completely.  You must
use RHV 4.1.

For -o vdsm, it adds an interim flag (--vdsm-compat=0.10 or
--vdsm-compat=1.1) which controls the compat level of the qcow2 output
file.  VDSM should use --vdsm-compat=1.1 when it is known that modern
qemu is available.  We can make this the default later when all RHV
instances have moved to 4.1.

It also adds:

  vdsm-compat-option

to the `virt-v2v --machine-readable' output to indicate that this flag
can be used.

Thanks: Yaniv Kaul, Michal Skrivanek.

This should be left out, I guess.
