similar to: [PATCH] v2v: Refactor some command line error messages.

When converting and throwing away the output (-o null), the input format should not really matter. However it does currently matter for a couple of reasons: (1) If the input is not raw or qcow2, then you'll get the error below because virt-v2v wants to write the same output format as input format but only allows raw or qcow2 as output formats: virt-v2v: error: output format should be

The previous patches seem OK. On a quick glance this one also seems a good start. On Thu, 22 Feb 2018 13:57:25 +0000 "Richard W.M.

Currently we have a bunch of ad hoc options like --vddk* and --vdsm* (and proposed to add --rhv*) to handle extra parameters for input and output modes/transports. This complicates the command line parsing and also the clarity of the command line (becauseit's not very obvious which options apply to which side of the conversion). Replace these with a general mechanism for handling input and

I still have not found time to fully review the series, but I found out that this patch breaks VDDK. See below. On Thu, 22 Mar 2018 15:24:23 +0000 "Richard W.M.

Add a new output mode to virt-v2v: similar to -o local, the written metadata is a JSON file with the majority of the data that virt-v2v knowns about (or collects) during the conversion. This is meant to be used only when no existing output mode is usable, and a guest needs to be converted to run on KVM anyway. The user of this mode is supposed to use all the data in the JSON, as they contain

This adds a new output mode to virt-v2v. virt-v2v -o rhv-upload streams images directly to an oVirt or RHV >= 4 Data Domain using the oVirt SDK v4. It is more efficient than -o rhv because it does not need to go via the Export Storage Domain, and is possible for humans to use unlike -o vdsm. The implementation uses the Python SDK (‘ovirtsdk4’ module). An nbdkit Python 3 plugin translates

PROBLEMS: - -of qcow2 does not work, with multiple problems * needs to set NBD size to something larger than virtual size - Cannot choose the datacenter. - Not tested against imageio which supports zero/trim/flush. This adds a new output mode to virt-v2v. virt-v2v -o rhv-upload streams images directly to an oVirt or RHV >= 4 Data Domain using the oVirt SDK v4. It is more efficient
