similar to: [PATCH v3] v2v: -o openstack: Allow -oo insecure (RHBZ#1651432).

The first patch restricts passthrough parameters to ones matching "os-*". This was how it was documented, but not how it was implemented. The second patch is the same as v2 here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2018-November/msg00187.html Rich.

Previously we allowed arbitrary flags to be passed through to the underlying openstack CLI command, provided they have the format ‘--key=value’. We want to pass the ‘--insecure’ flag through, but that doesn't have the key=value form. However a small modification to the matching rules would allow this. The effect of this change is that you can now use ‘virt-v2v -oo insecure’ to turn off SSL

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.

Random old patch that I had in my queue. Posting it as a backup, it is still untested. Rich.

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.

If ‘virt-v2v -oo verify-server-certificate=false’ is used then ‘openstack --insecure’ flag is added whenever we invoke the openstack command. This turns off SSL certificate validation. The default is to verify the server certificate (which is the default of the openstack command). --- v2v/output_openstack.ml | 16 +++++++++++++++- v2v/test-v2v-o-openstack.sh | 2 ++

If ‘virt-v2v -oo insecure’ is used then ‘openstack --insecure’ flag is added whenever we invoke the openstack command. This turns of SSL certificate validation. --- v2v/output_openstack.ml | 14 +++++++++++++- v2v/virt-v2v-output-openstack.pod | 1 + v2v/virt-v2v.pod | 7 +++++++ 3 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/v2v/output_openstack.ml

In some cases we have observed the time taken for a Cinder volume to attach to the conversion appliance can be longer than the current 60 seconds. Increase the timeout to 5 minutes.

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1792141 Let the user pass "-oo" options from the kernel cmdline and from the GUI to virt-v2v. This is primarily useful with the OpenStack output mode, so reenable that mode.

Hi, There has been discussion about the OpenStack output and Richard asked for a public thread on this list, so here it is. For v2v from VMware to RHV, there is a Python script that does some extra steps to create the virtual machine after the disks have been converted. We want to have the same behavior for OpenStack, i.e. have virt-v2v create the instance once the volumes have been created.

(Apologies if I missed anyone off the To: line. Please add anyone else who is interested, but keep the libguestfs public mailing list) I did some preparatory work on adding the new ‘virt-v2v -o openstack’ output mode. I've put it in a private (non-FFwd) branch here: https://github.com/rwmjones/libguestfs/tree/openstack Most of the work was refactoring virt-v2v so that we have all of the

Improves the error message when openstack is not installed: $ virt-v2v -i disk fedora-28.img -o openstack virt-v2v: error: no binary called ‘openstack’ was found on the $PATH. We use this program to communicate with OpenStack so it must be installed to use this output mode. --- v2v/output_openstack.ml | 17 +++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git

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