similar to: [PATCH v2v 0/4] v2v: vcenter: Implement cookie scripts.

The first commit removes the --dcpath parameter, which just makes the following stuff simpler. Since libvirt has supported getting datacenterpath from VMware since Oct 2015, it's time to drop this hairy parameter. The rest is quite a complicated series of refactorings, followed by a very simple change to add handling of snapshots taken from old virt-v2v. 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 is built on top of the following patch series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2019-April/msg00054.html 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

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

The curl binary is used in the VCenter module, so require it up-front. This let us remove the need to point the user to check whether curl is installed in an error message. --- v2v/input_libvirt_vcenter_https.ml | 13 ++++++++++++- v2v/vCenter.ml | 2 +- 2 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/v2v/input_libvirt_vcenter_https.ml

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.

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

Part 2 fix for: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1842440 Actually this fix on its own should be sufficient, but probably we want the nbdkit fixes too. Note this uses actual OCaml 4.05 features! ("let open" and the Unix.tcgetattr functions). I checked that both features are available on RHEL 7's OCaml. Rich.

vCenter 7 answers with an HTTP/2 status string, so we cannot extract the status code from it by using fixed positions in that string. Hence, pick the status code by reading what's after the whitespace. Tested with vCenter 6.5 and 7. --- v2v/vCenter.ml | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/v2v/vCenter.ml b/v2v/vCenter.ml index c28a4ced..4c128b0c 100644 ---

See earlier thread on libvir-list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2015-September/thread.html#00201 Libvirt >= 1.2.20 supplies the correct dcPath parameter. If it is available in the libvirt XML, use it, otherwise fall back to the old method of trying to guess it from the vpx:// path. Patches 1, 2 and 4 are just refactoring around this change. Rich.

Evolution of this patch series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-July/thread.html#00073 Instead of auth-script, this implements header-script and cookie-script. It can be used for similar purposes but the implementation is somewhat saner. Rich.

These patches add the --password-file parameter, allowing you to pass a single password via a file. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1158526 Rich.

Add a Common_utils.debug function for printing messages only when in verbose mode. Rich.

It turns out that RHEL 5 Xen conversions don't work if the source disk is located on a block device. See patch 1/4 for the gory details. This patch series proposes a new tool called virt-v2v-copy-to-local which essentially is a way to make new virt-v2v work like the old virt-v2v, ie. copy first, convert after. Of course this is very slow and would only be used as a last resort, but I
