This way it is possible to override the UUIDs of the uploaded disks, instead of letting RHV generate them. This can be useful to force certain UUIDs, and to specify the disks in --no-copy mode (which now can be used). --- v2v/output_rhv_upload.ml | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- v2v/rhv-upload-plugin.py | 2 ++ v2v/virt-v2v-output-rhv.pod | 23 ++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files

Currently I found it it's hard to determine the relationship between LVM objects, by which I mean "what PVs contain a VG?", or "what LVs are contained in a VG?" This simple API exposes that to callers. {lv,vg,pv}uuid: Return the UUID of an LVM object. You can already get this using (eg.) lvs_full, but this is a lot less faffing around. vg{lv,pv}uuids:

This is a further, more comprehensive fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=788641 The guestfish 'edit' command (aka 'emacs', 'vi') suffered from the same problems as virt-edit and more. It could have failed and left a partially overwritten file, and it didn't preserve permissions etc from the original file. These three patches fix all this. The first

In 1.11.1 / git, I have made some changes to the way that you run guestfish, guestmount and the virt tools from the build directory without installing. Firstly you can't just run ./fish/guestfish or ./fuse/guestmount any more and have those programs magically set LIBGUESTFS_PATH. The automagic code was always error-prone and I have removed it. Secondly, all of the run-*-local scripts have

I'm not sure whether this patch is really necessary or a good idea. It does make testing easier, since you can test virt-v2v on a single host (using the -ou none option). Note that current virt-v2v.git does not preserve the UUID in either of the target cases (this is a regression/change from earlier behaviour). Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and making the build system much simpler as a consequence. Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories). No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you can do everything
