similar to: [PATCH v7 0/6] v2v: Add -o rhv-upload output mode (RHBZ#1557273).

This patch isn't quite complete (see ‘assert false’). 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).

Proposed small change to the command line of virt-v2v when specifying that you want VDDK mode. Rich.

When erroring out about duplicated parameters, say "more than once" instead of "twice", since there can be more than two repeated parameters.

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

This patch is incomplete, but early feedback would be welcome. Rich.

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.

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

Add oVirt specific elemnt to OVF. It represents the combination of machine type (i440fx/q35) and firmware (BIOS/UEFI).

This series (except the last one) changes virt-v2v to use nbdkit for several input modes: -i vmx -it vddk: No change in functionality, as this already uses nbdkit-vddk-plugin, but the code is refactored for the other modes to use. -i libvirtxml: Use nbdkit-curl-plugin instead of qemu curl. vCenter: Use nbdkit-curl-plugin instead of qemu curl. xen: Use nbdkit-ssh-plugin instead of qemu

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

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

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.

v7 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-March/msg00143.html Since then: - Earlier patches are now upstream. - The to-do list is moved from the commit message to the TODO file. - This version forces -of raw + -oa sparse and gives an error in any other mode. We intend to lift these restrictions later. - Tested against latest imageio which supports longer timeouts,

This patch set is still for discussion only. See 3/3 for the current list of problems. However this will upload an image to an oVirt or RHV server, although you must have absolutely the latest snapshot version of 4.2 for it to work. Rich.

Mainly minor fixes and code cleanups over the v4 patch. There are still several problems with this patch, but it is in a reviewable state, especially the Python code. Rich.

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.

v8 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-April/msg00022.html v8 -> v9: - Addresses the only feedback from Tomáš. Rich.

Pass (again) around the libvirt URI string in the various input_libvirt subclasses so that input_libvirt#as_options does not need to connect to print the connection URI. As related change: pass input_conn as non-optional string parameter in classes that require one (all but input_libvirt_other, basically). This avoids the need for extra checks. --- v2v/input_libvirt.ml | 10
