I don't think anyone has tested it as we only bother with vSphere >= 5, but it should work, assuming the guest is supported. You shouldn't need to use virt-p2v, plain virt-v2v should

Starting from libguestfs/virt-v2v 1.39.12, virt-v2v attempts to uninstall the VMware tools from Windows guests, so there is no need to remove them manually before the conversion.

This is still a draft, not ready for commit yet. But feedback is welcomed. This series is related to the problem of inefficient import of OVA files. The needed enhancements of QEMU was merged into the codebase and should be available in QEMU 2.8. From there we can use 'size' and 'offset' options in raw driver to tell QEMU to use only subset of a file as an image. The first three

From there we can use 'size' and 'offset' options in raw driver to tell QEMU to use only subset of a file as an image. The patch set is more or less complete. The only outstanding issue is the missing detection

v3: Addressed Pino's comments, namely: - input_ova.ml - untar takes list of paths - renamed untar_partial to untar_metadata - replaced uggly regex with nsplit - tests - test changes are part of the main commit - renamed test-data/guestfs-hashsums.sh to test-data/test-utils.sh - renamed qemu_version to qemu_is_version and moved it to test-data/test-utils.sh - normalize paths

Hi All, What is the correct way to provide a CentOS 7 - WMware image for ESX ? As an amateur to VMware - I thought - great I can get VMplayer and ESX should be able to import my image... Wrong... I even went through the trouble of "converting" to VMWare workstation and thinking ESX could import that - Apparently still Wrong... I cannot for the life of me understand how one product

While trying to convert an OVA exported from VMware vSphere to libvirt using virt-v2v, I get the following error: virt-v2v: error: no installed kernel packages were found. Environment info: Base OS: 16.04.2 LTS (Xenial Xerus) Source VM OS: CentOS 7 libguestfs: 1.37.16 (built from source) Relevant logs are attached. Thanks, Zach

Hi Matt, I was taking a look on v2v to implement vSphere and I have few questions: 1) the converter should be in: Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::VMWare ( or Vsphere) ? 2) What you think if instead to mess up with the xml converter we gonna use a XSL file that take the OVF file and transform it in KVM like xml file ? Cheers, Francesco

OVA not a real standard. Colour me surprised ...

Fix one dist issue, and almost all the builddir!=srcdir issues. (For the record, only 3 tests still fail in that setup.) Pino Toscano (3): libvirt-ocaml: add libvirt_c.h as source tests: fix path to sources of fake-virtio-win.iso tests: fix srcdir references bundled/libvirt-ocaml/Makefile.am | 1 + test-data/fake-virtio-win/Makefile.am | 2 +- tests/rhbz1232192.sh

A couple of patches cleaning up the -i ova code. These are both just refactoring (or should be at any rate). The second patch is best viewed with 'git show -w' to exclude whitespace changes. Rich.

This patch is incomplete, but early feedback would be welcome. Rich.
