An alternate solution to: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-December/msg00035.html "[PATCH] v2v: -i vmx: Allow ssh URLs to use spaces." is to classify all URLs processed by libguestfs as either ordinary URLs or the special non-standard URLs that we use for things like ‘virt-v2v -i vmx’ and ‘guestfish --add’. For the non-standard URLs, provide a wrapper around

This isn't quite the full thing. I think that Pino is also working on replacing the ssh and scp commands in the v2v/input_vmx.ml file with libssh. Without those changes, -i vmx will still issue raw ssh and scp commands, which will use ssh-agent (or keyboard-interactive). The Xen input method doesn't use raw ssh and scp commands, so that one is OK. Rich.

The first patch was previously posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-December/msg00018.html That patch hasn't changed except that I made the ‘input_transport’ variable type-safe. The second patch adds a significant new mode for liberating data from VMware: the ability to copy VMs over SSH directly from ESXi hypervisors. Although this requires enabling SSH access (a

The first patch in the old series was pushed a while back, and the last "TEMPORARY"

A colleague found some VMX files which omit the deviceType field. This allows -i vmx mode to parse them. Rich.

v2 was posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-July/msg00115.html This also has links to earlier versions. v3: - The 01/11 patch in v2 included a bunch of unnecessary plus one necessary change to how input_password is passed around. I moved the necessary change into the final patch (implementing SSH password authentication) and dropped the rest. - The 01/11

v3 posted here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-July/msg00200.html v4: - The first patch in the v3 series was just a trivial doc whitespace fix so I pushed it. - There's a new patch using the nbdkit-retry-filter. This is not actually upstream in nbdkit but we know enough about how it will work. - Rebased against master and reran the tests. Rich.

Use -ip instead of --password-file, and various refactorings. It strikes me that we should probably deprecate and eventually remove virt-v2v-copy-to-local. With the introduction of the new SSH and VDDK transports, and with RHEL 5 Xen becoming more irrelevant, it's no longer needed. Rich.

This patch series integrates libosinfo in virt-v2v to get the list of files for Windows from libosinfo, if possible. The actual data is still from virtio-win, just unpacked.

This patch series integrates libosinfo in virt-v2v to get the list of files for Windows from libosinfo, if possible. The actual data is still from virtio-win, just unpacked. Changes from v1: - adapt to use the priority in libosinfo 1.7.0+ - filter out non-pre-installable drivers - collect all the drivers matching the requirements, not just the first, sorting them by priority like libosinfo does

Since this new temporary directory will contain UNIX sockets for communicating with nbdkit, then its path must not be too long. Use the existing directory that libguestfs exposes for this, i.e. sockdir. --- v2v/nbdkit.ml | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/nbdkit.ml b/v2v/nbdkit.ml index 65317f9b..46b20c9d 100644 --- a/v2v/nbdkit.ml +++ b/v2v/nbdkit.ml

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-April/msg00007.html There's a BZ for this now which I forgot to add to the commit message: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1814611 For v2: - Fix incorrect reference to $TMPDIR in existing manual. - Separate handling for small temporary files and large temporary files. Small temporary files go into $TMPDIR

We only use xmlParseURI to parse our own "homebrew" URIs, for example the ones used by guestfish --add or virt-v2v. Unfortunately xmlParseURI cannot handle URIs with spaces or other non-RFC-compliant characters so simple commands like these fail: $ guestfish -a 'ssh://example.com/virtual machine.img' guestfish: --add: could not parse URI 'ssh://example.com/virtual

Tested using: cd v2v LIBGUESTFS_BACKEND=direct ../run virt-v2v -i vmx -it ssh "ssh://localhost/$PWD/test-v2v-i-vmx-1.vmx" -o null -v -x and manually examining the debug output.
