search for: nguests

hi, I compiled the libvirt-0.9.10 and started the libvirtd with sudo. Unfortunately, I got an Error, saying 'virDomainDefParseXML unknown OS type hvm'. I debugged it and found in function virCapabilitiesSupportsGuestOSType, the parameter caps->nguests is 0. On the other hand, I tried start the libvirtd with common user, and creating domain with virsh, i found the caps->ngusts is 2 and had one value 'hvm', so it didn't complain the error above, instead, it complained could not load PC BIOS bios.bin. I'd say I searched a lot...

This series slightly improves the way qemu-ga is installed from the RHV Tools ISO, simplifying the feedback to the user.

Allow multiple alternative directory names for distributions (or distribution familiy) when installing Linux guest tools packages. Original naming required that there is a separate directory for every version of a distribution (e.g. fc28, fc29, ...). This is inconvenient when users want to keep just a single version of the package for the distribution. For each distribution one can have either a

Right now the code copies, and then tries to install, all the files found for the directory of a distro. This does not take into account differences in the architectures of the packages available, so a x86_64 package must be installed only on x86_64 guests. As solution, filter the packages using the typical suffix used by packages (so architecture + file extension), to pick only packages

The RHV Tools ISO is provided as Red Hat only product, and thus not available for all the virt-v2v users. Hence, change the way we report the status of the installation of the qemu guest agent from the RHV Tools ISO: - do not warn if virt-v2v does not know how to install the package for the current guest - do not warn if the ISO does not contain packages for the current guest - on successful

This is why I shouldn't program before lunchtime ... v2 & v3 omitted gettext (‘f_()’) annotations around the warning and error strings. Fixed in this version. My cover letter for v2 still applies here. Rich.

This is my version of this patch which I think improves it in a number of ways. Firstly instead of having the bare boolean parameter ‘ok_if_missing’ we pass in the function we want to call along the directory missing path. This change then allows us to print a more useful error or warning message given the context of the call, and the new message is actionable too, so the user knows what has to

Sorry, there was a small mistake in v2 of the patch. The difference between v2 & v3 is below. All my other comments in the cover letter of v2 also apply here.
