Wait for driver installations fired by the PnP manager to complete before running firstboot scripts. The first patch is a minor refactoring to pave the way for the second patch. The latter contains the bulk of the changes as well as the description of the idea.

During conversion we copy the necessary drivers to the directory "%systemroot%\Drivers\Virtio", adding it to the DevicePath registry value. As documented in [1], this should be enough for Windows to find device drivers and successfully install them. However, it doesn't always happen. Commit 73e009c04 ("v2v: windows: Document use of pnputil to install drivers.") describes

A very miscellaneous set of cleanups to how we handle the Windows registry in virt-v2v, firstboot, and inspection code. This should all be straightforward non-controversial refactoring. Some highlights: - Add a new mllib Registry module containing various utility functions that are currently scattered all around. - Only compute the software/system hive paths once during inspection, and

While messing around this script, I added one more tiny patch making wait-pnp log its output into the common log.txt file, as suggested by Richard here: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/031023.html Discussion on v3: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-March/031070.html v3 -> v4: * Remove unneeded line break from the script; * Add another small

I've been experiencing problem with the drivers not always being installed. This patch merely implements the solution offered by Richard in the commit 73e009c04 ("v2v: windows: Document use of pnputil to install drivers."). The solution wasn't implemented back then, but rather added merely as a comment. Thus I wonder is there some issues which it may cause? The most obvious

how do you backup system files like /etc/ over ssh to another machine and keep permissions the same on the remote backup location ? i tried using -a flag, but because i'm connecting through ssh i'm not using Rsync module on the remote computer and therefore i cant write files as root so -a flag is not working. all the files are being written with owner SSH_USER and group SSH_USER_GROUP i

I'm please to announce libguestfs 1.36, a library and a set of tools for accessing and modifying virtual machine disk images. This release represents about 7 months of work by many contributors. I'd like to call out in particular substantial code contributions from: Pino Toscano, Tomáš Golembiovský, Cédric Bosdonnat, Roman Kagan, Dawid Zamirski and Matteo Cafasso. Also our testing team:

If the RHV Setup Tools ISO is installed, open it, and copy RHEV APT from there, instead of using (if available) the executable located in the virt-tools data directory. This way, RHV conversion hosts with the RHV Setup Tools ISO installed will always install the latest version when convering Windows guests, no matter which version is (eventually) shipped as virt-tools. --- v2v/convert_windows.ml

I am trying to figure out how to create a PnP Gateway. What I understand it does is this. My server Ip: 192.168.100.1 Dhcp range 192.168.100.xxx/24 Sub 255.255.255.0 Gateway 192.168.100.1 What I am looing to do from what I understand is allow someone with a static ip of say like 1.1.1.1/24 and a gateway of 1.1.1..254 to connect to the network and access the network. Can someone point me where

Simple question. In the motherboard bios should PnP OS be enabled or disable on motherboard running Centos 4.x? Matt
