similar to: [PATCH 1/7] Push $desc creation into Sys::VirtConvert::Converter->convert

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

Mike, This is great. I have a couple of minor comments inline, but this looks good. I do have a major concern, though, which is this is basically a fork of RedHat.pm. There are well over 1,000 identical lines of code between the 2 modules. Many of the differences are relatively minor, and could be handled with additional cases. I've also fixed a couple of bits in RedHat.pm since you forked

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

This patch series includes a repost of Milan's unmodified RHN support patch because I haven't pushed it yet. On top of that patch, it includes the capabilities patch in as many bits as I could make it into. The big one is 7/8. I've tested all of the following guests both with and without RHN registration: Xen RHEL 54 PV Xen RHEL 51 PV Xen RHEL 48 PV ESX RHEL 54 FV

This is a proposed patch which changes the RedHat.pm converter to Linux.pm, and adds support for SUSE guest conversion. This is first approach recommended by Matt Booth in: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2013-September/msg00076.html Some aspects of this patch still need additional testing, and a couple of changes are not foolproof (such as the lack of grub2 support in the menu.lst

The following series of patches adds support for converting SUSE guests through virt-v2v. These changes should not impact non-SUSE guest conversions.

The SUSE converter itself, based on the RedHat converter. This supports converting SLES 10/11 and openSUSE 10/11/12/13. --- MANIFEST | 1 + lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/SUSE.pm | 2527 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 2528 insertions(+) diff --git a/MANIFEST b/MANIFEST index 3724fde..615ec32 100644 --- a/MANIFEST +++ b/MANIFEST @@ -17,6 +17,7

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

The following patch adds augeas_error to the Sys::VirtConvert::Util use statement for GrubLegacy (matching what is used in the Grub2 package). This is required to prevent an undefined subroutine error for the augeas_error call in list_kernels(). There are also a few minor typo fixups: - A message string in _configure_kernel was missing the $ before a variable - In _install_capability, the

In some cases (specifically, SUSE grub2 environments) it is possible to fail to update the block entries in device.map. In turn, this causes an invalid path to be returned in perl-Bootloader code, which causes the conversion to fail with the following message: is_file_opts: is_file: is_file_stub: path must start with a / character This patch prevents the problem by adding device.map (for

Matt, Thanks for the extensive comments. I'll go through them in detail, but it won't be until next week. For the time being, here's a quick take on some of the main issues: > I do have a major concern, though, which is this is basically a fork of > RedHat.pm.

This approach looks great. I think there are a couple of bits to look at (see below), but probably not much.

inspect_os() shouldn't do this, but ultimately it's heuristic. As we know what the transfer device is, we can double-check the output. --- v2v/virt-v2v.pl | 18 +++++++++++++++++- 1 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/virt-v2v.pl b/v2v/virt-v2v.pl index fe07ae9..6e73102 100755 --- a/v2v/virt-v2v.pl +++ b/v2v/virt-v2v.pl @@ -496,11 +496,18 @@ my $g = new

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

Hello, I've trying to move a 32bit CentOS 6.4 on VirtualBox to oVirt on Fedora 19 64bit via virt-v2v.

'distro' isn't used anywhere for Windows guests. However, if it's set, it's required to be matched in virt-v2v.conf.
