These 2 patches are mostly code motion. They were prompted by an apparent augeas error in BZ 613967 which didn't display useful error message. The error seems to happen in Converter::Linux. GuestOS::RedHat had a handy function which displayed verbose augeas error messages. This function moves into the new module where it can be used by both modules. The second patch is an consequential tidy

This patch refactors the data transfer code with several goals: * Have a common read(source)/write(target) loop so that common processing can happen in the middle of it, e.g. format change/progress bar * Provide volume metadata to transfers to allow smarter reading/writing, e.g. of sparse files * Simplify the data transfer code The patch *isn't* NFC because there are some minor behaviour

Previously, only the LibVirtXML connection translated network and bridge names in imported metadata. This change moves this functionality in Converter, making it available to LibVirt connections as well. At the same time, the format of the config file is switched to XML. The primary driver for this is that the allowable syntax of a foreign network/bridge name is not known. Rather than create a

Cleanup was not happening properly if a migration to RHEV was killed prematurely with a Ctrl-C. Firstly, the SIGINT and SIGQUIT handlers were not being registered early enough in virt-v2v.pl. Secondly, if Ctrl-C killed the guestfs qemu process first it would deliver a SIGPIPE to v2v, which caused an unclean shutdown without cleanup.

Also changes command line parsing to require a pool to be specified when using libvirt output, meaning storage will always be copied. --- MANIFEST | 1 + lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Connection.pm | 74 +++++++++--------- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Connection/LibVirt.pm | 18 +++-- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Connection/LibVirtXML.pm | 11 ++- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Target/LibVirt.pm

Currently virt-v2v attempts to create an iso containing all software referenced in the config file before starting. If any software isn't available it displays an error and exits immediately. With this change it will ignore software which isn't available at iso creation time. Instead, it will only display an error if the unavailable software is actually required. This is much kinder to

If a user accidentally passed a valid XML document to the LibvirtXML which wasn't actually a libvirt domain XML document, they would end up getting obtuse errors from a libguestfs library. This change does 2 sanity checks: 1. After parsing a the XML document, check /domain/name exists. 2. Check that the domain defines some storage The second check is generally useful, as we can't

Unfortunately libvirt will not always return volume information for a guest's volume. Specifically, it will not return volume information if the volume is not in a storage pool. Rather than displaying a generic libvirt error in this case, advise the user how they can create an appropriate storage pool. Fixes RHBZ#672498 --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Connection/LibVirtSource.pm | 27

The following patches are where I'm currently at with ESX support. I can now import a domain from ESX along with its storage. Note that I'm not yet doing any conversion. In fact, I've never even tested past the import stage (I just had an exit in there). The meat is really in the 4th patch. The rename of MetadataReader->Connection was because the Connection is now really providing

With this patchset I have successfully[1] imported a RHEL 5 guest directly from ESX with the following command line: virt-v2v -ic 'esx://yellow.marston/?no_verify=1' -op transfer RHEL5-64 Login details are stored in ~/.netrc Note that this is the only guest I've tested against. I haven't for example, checked that I haven't broken Xen imports. Matt [1] With the exception of

We were using remove_tree in the RHEV cleanup code. remove_tree seems to use chdir. Unfortunately, as this code will be running seteuid(36), it is not unlikely that the current working directory will not be readable. This causes remove_tree to fail. This patch replaces remove_tree with a simple recursive remove, obviously without using chdir. Fixes RHBZ#670778 ---

We previously wouldn't create a Config object if no config file was specified. This change ensures that a Config object is always created, but will do nothing interesting if there is no config file. Apart from being slightly cleaner, this allows information provided by Config to be later supplied from the command line instead. --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Config.pm | 34

Support obtaining guest storage over ssh. The following now works: virt-v2v -f v2v/virt-v2v.conf -ic 'xen+ssh://xen.example.com/system' \ -op transfer rhel54pv64 --- MANIFEST | 1 + lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Connection.pm | 1 + lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Connection/LibVirt.pm | 4 + lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Transfer/SSH.pm | 208

We were seeing 100% failure rates transferring 10G disk images from ESX on a particular setup. We also weren't spotting the transfer failure, and dying with a strange error from libguestfs. These 2 patches fix the error check which should have made it obvious what was failing, and the underlying error.
