similar to: [PATCH 0/4] Pass CPU vendor, model and topology from source to target.

v1 -> v2: - Support for passing topology through -o glance. - Support for passing topology through -o rhv. - Use bool for acpi/apic/pae struct fields in virt-p2v. - Write the xpath expression in error messages instead of file/line. - Fix more memory leaks in virt-p2v cpuid.c. - Passes make check & check-valgrind. There may be some other minor changes. I believe that everything

Version 1 was here: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2023-February/thread.html#30694 I made a few changes in v2 but overall decided to keep the now unused gcaps_arch_min_version capability. This doesn't preclude removing it in future if we think it's never going to be useful. I changed patch 1 so that to remove the long comment about how the field is used, anticipating the

In Std_utils we already extend Char and String. These commits take it a little further by extending List and adding a new Option submodule. All basically simple refactoring. Rich.

This time including the first commit ...

v2 -> v3: - Renamed List.assoc_ -> List.assoc_lbl. - Rebased on top of current master branch. Rich.

When converting a guest with UEFI firmware, set the also hw_firmware_type=uefi property for all the disks of the guest, so Nova can properly boot the guest. --- v2v/output_glance.ml | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/output_glance.ml b/v2v/output_glance.ml index b712d68..cfb19b4 100644 --- a/v2v/output_glance.ml +++ b/v2v/output_glance.ml @@ -41,7

Instead of storing the number of sockets, cores, and threads separately with the possibility to have each of them optional, store them together, so either we have a CPU topology or none. This slightly simplifies the handling of CPU topology. Most of the output modes/producers already considered a missing information of a topology as "1" when any of the other was specified, so the

Where supported, pass the source CPU vendor, model and topology to the target hypervisor. For -i ova, we can get just cores per socket via a proprietary VMware extension to OVF. For -i libvirt and from virt-p2v, we can get all of these fields from the libvirt XML. For -o libvirt/local, we can preserve all of the information in the target XML. For -o glance, as far as I can tell from the

virt-v2v moves guests, it doesn't clone them. Therefore we should try to preserve the VM Generation ID (genid) as much as possible. This has the ability to read the genid from VMware VMX files and libvirt XML (but note RHBZ#1598348). It can also write the genid to libvirt (‘-o libvirt’, ‘-o local’) and QEMU (‘-o qemu’). We are missing support currently for all OVF-based formats (hence ‘-i

v2 -> v3: - Changes to the Curl API suggested by Pino.

v1 -> v2: - Fixed the bug with precedence of if / @. - Add some imperative list operators inspired by Perl, and use those for constructing the Curl arguments, and more. Rich.

QEMU for x86 supports two machine types, "pc" (emulating the ancient Intel i440FX chipset originally used by the Pentium Pro), and "q35" (https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Q35). Currently virt-v2v does not set any machine type, so libvirt or the target hypervisor will choose some default, probably i440fx. Newer versions of libvirt and QEMU will probably switch over to defaulting

This patch implements output to OpenStack Cinder volumes using OpenStack APIs. It has only been lightly tested, but appears to work. There are some important things to understand about how this works: (1) You must run virt-v2v in a conversion appliance running on top of OpenStack. And you must supply the name or UUID of this appliance to virt-v2v using the ‘-oo server-id=NAME|UUID’ parameter.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-August/thread.html#00287 v2: - The -oa option now gives an error; apparently Cinder cannot generally control sparse/preallocated behaviour, although certain Cinder backends can. - The -os option maps to Cinder volume type; suggested by Matt Booth. - Add a simple test.

This series adds a new output mode for virt-v2v, called -o json. It produces local files, just like -o local, although the metadata produced is a JSON file with data that v2v collected in the conversion process. This can be useful for converting to unsupported destinations, still based on QEMU/KVM. In addition to a simple different metadata, it offers a way to relocate the disks, with

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1570407 This turned into quite an in-depth refactoring of how we handle OVAs. It also fixes a potential security issue. Rich.

Many of the properties for disks are the same for all of them, so collect them only once, instead of doing that for every disk. Should be just code motion, with no behaviour change. --- v2v/output_glance.ml | 143 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- 1 file changed, 73 insertions(+), 70 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/output_glance.ml b/v2v/output_glance.ml index cfb19b4..3feb2e4

This patch series adds stable bus and slot numbers for removable drives (CDs and floppies) when the guest is converted using virt-v2v or virt-p2v. Previously we were a bit random about this. After this patch series, the bus and slot numbers and preserved if at all possible. BZ: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238053 Rich.
