similar to: [PATCH 0/2] v2v: uninstall the VMware Tools from Windows guests

If present, Parallels Tools may stand in the way of proper running the windows guests in non-Parallels hypervisors, so we're better off uninstalling them on the first boot into the new environment. With this patch, the uninstall records for Parallels Tools are looked up in the registry and, if found, corresponding firstboot actions are registered, taking special care that those actions are

Turn the code for 'prltools_uninsts' into an helper function 'unistallation_commands', so that can be used also for other applications installed. --- v2v/convert_windows.ml | 35 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/convert_windows.ml b/v2v/convert_windows.ml index d651b2337..8740afd1c 100644 ---

It looks like VMware Tools support their unattended uninstallation even after the guest is not running anymore on VMware. --- v2v/convert_windows.ml | 27 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 26 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/v2v/convert_windows.ml b/v2v/convert_windows.ml index 8740afd1c..2d2b6adfe 100644 --- a/v2v/convert_windows.ml +++ b/v2v/convert_windows.ml @@ -192,6

This is all new code since the virt-v2v conversion from Perl so there was no need to check back with the original code.

As

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-September/msg00135.html This is a more complete evolution of the earlier patch. It replaces most important uses of Str with PCRE throughout the code. It also extends the bindings with some useful features like case-insensitive regexps. The main places I *didn't* touch are the generator (GObject uses Str extensively); and

Recent updates of Virtuozzo Server 6 (fka Parallels Cloud Server 6) have "Virtuozzo tools" instead of "Parallels tools" as their display name in the corresponding Uninstall registry key. Recognize those, too, and schedule their uninstallation on first boot. Signed-off-by: Roman Kagan <rkagan at virtuozzo.com> --- v2v/convert_windows.ml | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1

This patchset attempts to address a number of shortcomings in the firstboot infrastructure I came across while working with v2v conversion of various Windows VMs. Roman Kagan (4): firstboot: consolidate line ending conversion firstboot: enhance firstboot driver script for Windows firstboot: make script naming descriptive convert_windows: split firstboot into steps

There is an issue with removal of parallels disk paravirt driver. Without the patch, the VM being migrated may not boot on the desination with BSOD: 0x7b. The patch is a workaround to prevent the BSOD.

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

hivex has a function hivex_value_string. We were not calling it under the mistaken belief that because hivex implements this using iconv, the function wouldn't work inside the daemon. Instead we reimplemented the functionality in the library. This commit deprecates hivex_value_utf8 and removes the library side code. It replaces it with a plain wrapper around hivex_value_string. Thanks:

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.

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

Hide/prevent the use of bad string functions like String.lowercase. These are replaced by safe functions that won't break UTF-8 strings. Other miscellaneous refactoring. Rich.

Instead of doing all firstboot actions in a single script, take the advantage of the firstboot infrastructure and store and run unrelated actions as individual steps. This facilitates troubleshooting and fault recovery; besides it makes adding more actions easier.

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.
