Libguestfs - Apr 2019 - Re: [PATCH v2v v2 1/2] v2v: windows: Add a helper function for installing Powershell firstboot scripts.

Essentially identical to v1 except that it now uses (overloads?)
the --mac option to supply this data.

Rich.

2.20.1

For Linux the guest itself remembers the IP address associated with
each MAC address.  Thus it doesn't matter if the interface type
changes (ie. to virtio-net), because as long as we preserve the MAC
address the guest will use the same IP address or the same DHCP
configuration.

However on Windows this association is not maintained by MAC address.
In fact the MAC address isn't saved anywhere in the guest registry.
(It seems instead this is likely done through PCI device type and
address which we don't record at the moment and is almost impossible
to preserve.)  When a guest which doesn't use DHCP is migrated, the
guest sees the brand new virtio-net devices and doesn't know what to
do with them, and meanwhile the right static IPs are still associated
with the old and now-defunct interfaces in the registry.

We cannot collect the required information from within the guest.
However we can collect it outside the tool by some other means
(eg. using VMware Tools APIs) and present this information to virt-v2v
which then writes it into the Windows guest at firstboot time.

This commit adds the --mac ..:ip:.. sub-option which creates a
Powershell script to set network adapters at firstboot.  An option
such as:

  --mac 00:0c:29:e6:3d:9d:ip:192.168.0.89,192.168.0.1,24,192.168.0.254

approximately turns into this script:

  # Wait for the netkvm (virtio-net) driver to become active.
  $adapters = @()
  While (-Not $adapters) {
      Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
      $adapters = Get-NetAdapter -Physical |
                     Where DriverFileName -eq "netkvm.sys"
  }
  $mac_address = '00-0c-29-e6-3d-9d'
  $ifindex = (Get-NetAdapter -Physical |
                 Where MacAddress -eq $mac_address).ifIndex
  if ($ifindex) {
      New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex $ifindex
                       -IPAddress '192.168.0.89'
                       -DefaultGateway '192.168.0.1'
                       -PrefixLength 24
      Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $ifindex
                       -ServerAddresses ('192.168.0.254')
  }

Thanks: Brett Thurber for diagnosing the problem and suggesting paths
towards a fix.

There's a small parsing problem in v2 which I discovered when I
started the test.  Fixed by applying the attached patch on top.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.  Boot with a

The Firstboot module uses String.unix2dos to convert the script to the
proper newline style for Windows.  What about assuming that 'code' is a
single Unix-style string with the whole script, calling String.unix2dos,
instead of taking the list of lines?  Mostly for consistency, so
everything that writes files on Windows uses String.unix2dos.

According to the Interweb, it looks like this location was kept even
for PowerShell 2.0+ for "compatibility".

OTOH the comment raises another concern: what about old Windows versions
without PowerShell?  Most probably virt-v2v needs to report that to the
user (a warning, perhaps) so they know that the static IPs (specified
on the command line) cannot be preserved anyway.  Otherwise, the
conversion will work fine, and the user realize that this did not work
only when booting the converted Windows.

Maybe add a simple is_powershell_available helper to this (Windows)
module?

I have no experience on the Windows-specific parts, so I can only
comment on the v2v integration.

Instead of a separate list (which needs to be passed around, etc), most
probably this can fit as part of the Network module, adding a new
element to the vnet_type type, e.g.:

and vnet_type = Bridge | Network | Static_ip of static_ip

Most probably the static IP specification string can be parsed in a new
Network.add_static_ip method, which would also take care to check for
duplicated MAC specifications.

I suggest adding a simple helper here:

'sq' can be used here.

Most probably this can be:

         add (sprintf "    New-NetIPAddress %s" (String.concat "
" !args));

(just for consistency with the same pattern done few lines below this.)

install_firstboot_powershell already adds a newline at the end, so most
probably this empty line can be removed.

Small nit common to both the patches: the name is "PowerShell" (not
"Powershell").
