similar to: [PATCH 0/4] Add SUSE guest converter to virt-v2v

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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,

During a Windows conversion, _prepare_virtio_drivers aborts the conversion completely if the configured virtio driver path does not exist. If the path exists but is empty, the conversion completes correctly by defaulting to the non-virtio drivers. This patch treats a missing directory just like missing drivers, by reporting a message, then defaulting to non-virtio drivers. ---

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

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.

Hi, attached is an updated [1] patch for virt-v2v to support converting VirtualBox guests with VirtualBox Guest Additions [2] installed. With the patch applied a VirtualBox RHEL 6 guest with Guest Additions can be converted with the steps documented in the manual page. I've tested this patch on a RHEL 6.2 host running VirtualBox 4.1.8 using a RHEL 6.2 guest, the guest works as expected

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

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

Although not fatal, _unconfigure_xenpv should report a warning and return if firstboot is not available (during Windows conversions). --- lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/Windows.pm | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/Windows.pm b/lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/Windows.pm index 59d273f..ce8b474 100644 --- a/lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Converter/Windows.pm

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
