For guests registered with Red Hat Network, this patch allows for the conversion process to use RHN to download appropriate kernel package and its dependencies. We use yum on RHEL-5, up2date libraries on RHEL-4. We install matching kernel version whenever possible, latest available kernel version otherwise. _discover_kernel routine has been extended to return version-release of the default

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

This is a new conversion module to convert SUSE Linux and openSUSE guests. The converter is based on the RedHat module, and should offer the same functionality on both SUSE and RedHat hosts. There are a few additional messages in this module, such as reporting of packages when installing through zypper or the local virt-v2v repo. These messages don't necessarily flow unless verbose switches

This change is part of an ongoing effort to remove use of $desc and inspect the OS directly as required during conversion. --- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/LibVirtTarget.pm | 4 +- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/RHEVTarget.pm | 41 +++++++++--------- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter.pm | 35 ++++++++++++---- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/RedHat.pm | 45

Conversion would fail if it was necessary to install a package, and multiple architectures of that package were already installed. This was happening specifically with device-mapper on RHEL 5 conversions. Unfortunately the flat dependency list in the config file didn't really allow this to be fixed. The best that could be done is to specify both i386 and x86_64 dependencies, but would mean

If a volume is not an exact multiple of 512 bytes, qemu-img will report its size rounded down to a 512 byte boundary. However, when copying, the file is still read until EOF, which will return more data than was expected. This change prevents that causing a failure in itself. The situation is still not resolved, however, as there are still situations where this will cause a failure. For example,

The following patches add RHEL 6 guest support to virt-v2v. This was actually quite a lot easier than I expected. * [PATCH 1/4] Update virt-v2v.conf for RHEL 6 virtio support * [PATCH 2/4] Check kudzu exists before attempting to disable it * [PATCH 3/4] Use dracut rather than mkinitrd if it's available * [PATCH 4/4] Properly convert RHEL 6 guest console

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

Exit with an error if we would overwrite an existing libvirt domain.

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

These patches combine HVSource and HVTarget into a single Converter. This should make it more obvious where to hack without losing any practical flexibility. GuestOS remains separate. GuestOS is now a misnomer, because it's really only a Linux distro abstraction. It will be useless for Windows, for example. Functions which you'd expect to be different on a non-RH distro should live in

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

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

In preparation for an upcoming patch which adds support for SUSE guest conversions, it makes sense to have an intermediate steps that changes the RedHat.pm converter into a more generic Linux converter. The SUSE changes will then be limited in scope to only what is required for SUSE support. This series of patches accomplishes the following: - Renames RedHat.pm to Linux.pm - Modifies Linux.pm

We were previously forcing the augeas Modprobe lens to match modules.conf and conf.modules. It turns out that the contents of these files are quite different to modprobe.conf, requiring a new lens. This change keeps the logic which looks for where modules should go, but doesn't update the augeas configuration. If there is no augeas lens for /etc/modules.conf, any attempt to parse or modify it

Although I can't reproduce, I seem to have had an incomplete transfer which wasn't picked up by the existing error handling. This change adds some more sanity checks: * Check for error on close() (should have been doing this anyway) * Check that the bytes received == reported content length --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Transfer/ESX.pm | 14 +++++++++++++- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 1
