similar to: [PATCH 0/4] v2v: more control over device types

The decision on which device type to use for disks, network and video cards on output used to be taken deep inside the converting functions. This is not always desirable. In particular, there are scenarios when this decision is made before the convertion takes place. E.g. in in-place mode, the decisions are taken and the output VM configuration is created outside of v2v tool. This patchset

Yaniv pointed out in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1438794 that virt-v2v both doesn't install the virtio-rng driver for Windows, and doesn't give the guest a virtio-rng PCI device either. There are two problems here: Firstly the Windows virtio-rng driver isn't included in the exploded tree (/usr/share/virtio-win) so it doesn't get copied into the guest. The solution

v1 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-April/msg00031.html v1 -> v2: - Add support for -o glance. - Add support for -o qemu. - Fix the -o libvirt support for balloon as pointed out by Dan. - Fix a test failure caused by changing libvirt XML output. Rich.

Hi there! I know it's been a while since I posted my first version of some patches. But here I have rebased them on top of Roman's work and added a few other ones.

Hi there, Here is v3 of the remaining patches. Diff to v2: * Removed the patch related to QXL * Fixed the firstboot script with Roman's comments * Fixed ova with subfolders test * Handle MF-relative path in ova files * Fixed now unneeded match case as per Richard's comment Cédric Bosdonnat (3): customize: fix windows firstboot script v2v: add support for SUSE VMDP drivers v2v:

Hi there, SUSE ships Virtual Machine Driver Pack for the virtio windows drivers. Get v2v and customize to discover them and use them if available. Cédric Bosdonnat (7): v2v: check next free oem%d.inf in /Windows/Inf v2v: extract controller offset discovery as a function customize: add support for pvvxsvc v2v: extract reusable parts of viostor regedits v2v: adapt the subkey in Enum

Hi all, v2 includes all comments from Pino and Richard. I also removed the mkdir /run/lvm in the init since it only failed in one case and couldn't reproduce it anymore. Cédric Bosdonnat (11): v2v: also search for windows virtio drivers in symlinks Update packagelist for SLES and openSUSE customize: fix windows firstboot script customize: change windows firstboot path customize:

Virtio-SCSI offers a number of advantages over virtio-blk, in particular, it supports SCSI UNMAP (aka trim) which is crucial for keeping the virtual drive from wasting host disk space. This patch adds support for virtio-scsi as the virtual disk connection type both on input and on output of v2v. Virtio-blk remains the default, so for now virtio-scsi-based guests can only be produced in

Hi, I was trying to migrate some VM's to Virtio-SCSI block devices, as this gives some advantages. While checking the virt-v2v code, I found out that it supported Virtio-SCSI, but some bits were missing. In attachment a small patch that adds the missing bits :) Best regards Jean-Louis

Since commits b28cd1dc ("Remove requested_guestcaps / rcaps"), f0afc439 ("Remove guestcaps_block_type Virtio_SCSI") support for installing virtio-scsi driver is missing in virt-v2v. AFAIU plans and demands for bringing this feature back have been out there for a while. E.g. I've found a corresponding issue which is still open [1]. The code in b28cd1dc, f0afc439 was

Libguestfs supports passing an ISO image as a source of virtio windows drivers to v2v. That support, however, looks too heavy-weight: in order to access those drivers, a separate guestfs handle is created (and thus a new emulator process is started), which runs until v2v completes. This series attempts to make it simpler and lighter-weight, by making the relevant code more local, and by
