QEMU for x86 supports two machine types, "pc" (emulating the ancient Intel i440FX chipset originally used by the Pentium Pro), and "q35" (https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Q35). Currently virt-v2v does not set any machine type, so libvirt or the target hypervisor will choose some default, probably i440fx. Newer versions of libvirt and QEMU will probably switch over to defaulting

This is tangentially related to: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1372668 The problem in that bug is that we didn't pass the source CPU model (Sandybridge in that case) through to the target RHV hypervisor. So when the Windows guest booted on the target it gives an error about CPU hardware being disconnected (although it otherwise boots and works fine). This patch series

v1 -> v2: - Support for passing topology through -o glance. - Support for passing topology through -o rhv. - Use bool for acpi/apic/pae struct fields in virt-p2v. - Write the xpath expression in error messages instead of file/line. - Fix more memory leaks in virt-p2v cpuid.c. - Passes make check & check-valgrind. There may be some other minor changes. I believe that everything

Starting with 5.2.0, libvirt has a way to select automatically the firmware for a guest using an attribute of the <os> tag. Hence, use this information (when available, of course) to flag the firmware used by the guest. --- v2v/parse_libvirt_xml.ml | 9 ++++++++- 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/v2v/parse_libvirt_xml.ml b/v2v/parse_libvirt_xml.ml index

This series adds a new output mode for virt-v2v, called -o json. It produces local files, just like -o local, although the metadata produced is a JSON file with data that v2v collected in the conversion process. This can be useful for converting to unsupported destinations, still based on QEMU/KVM. In addition to a simple different metadata, it offers a way to relocate the disks, with

The latest advice from the QEMU and libvirt communities is not to rely on

Running a 3.14.4 x86-64 SMP guest kernel on qemu-2.0, with kvm enabled and -cpu host on a 3.14.4 AMD Opteron host, I'm seeing a reliable kernel panic from the guest shortly after boot. I think is happening in kvm_unlock_kick() in the paravirt_ops code: divide error: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 1 PID: 0 Comm: swapper/1 Not tainted 3.14.4-guest #16 Hardware name: QEMU

One issue is we don't always have access to the target hypervisor. For example in the Glance case we have to write something which will be picked up by Nova much later: > > + "hw_machine_type", >

The decision on which device type to use for disks, network and video cards on output used to be taken deep inside the converting functions. This is not always desirable. In particular, there are scenarios when this decision is made before the convertion takes place. E.g. in in-place mode, the decisions are taken and the output VM configuration is created outside of v2v tool. This patchset
