Hi, Sometimes when I mount a disk image, unmount it, and then try to create a domU using the disk image I get the following error: Error: Device 2049 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found. Im using a FC4 image. Here is the config file: kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-rc3-xenU" memory=256 name=Domain1 vif = [''bridge=xenbr0''] disk = [

These patches combine HVSource and HVTarget into a single Converter. This should make it more obvious where to hack without losing any practical flexibility. GuestOS remains separate. GuestOS is now a misnomer, because it's really only a Linux distro abstraction. It will be useless for Windows, for example. Functions which you'd expect to be different on a non-RH distro should live in

Previously, only the LibVirtXML connection translated network and bridge names in imported metadata. This change moves this functionality in Converter, making it available to LibVirt connections as well. At the same time, the format of the config file is switched to XML. The primary driver for this is that the allowable syntax of a foreign network/bridge name is not known. Rather than create a

This patch series includes a repost of Milan's unmodified RHN support patch because I haven't pushed it yet. On top of that patch, it includes the capabilities patch in as many bits as I could make it into. The big one is 7/8. I've tested all of the following guests both with and without RHN registration: Xen RHEL 54 PV Xen RHEL 51 PV Xen RHEL 48 PV ESX RHEL 54 FV

If the transfer iso was mounted during conversion, virt-v2v would always give the following error on shutdown: (in cleanup) umount: /tmp/transferb7icam: umount: /sysroot/tmp/transferb7icam: not found at /home/mbooth/src/virt-v2v/blib/lib/Sys/VirtV2V/GuestOS/RedHat.pm line 1171. This was because the GuestOS::RedHat cleanup was being called implicitly on exit, which is after umount_all

Although I can't reproduce, I seem to have had an incomplete transfer which wasn't picked up by the existing error handling. This change adds some more sanity checks: * Check for error on close() (should have been doing this anyway) * Check that the bytes received == reported content length --- lib/Sys/VirtV2V/Transfer/ESX.pm | 14 +++++++++++++- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 1

These 2 patches are mostly code motion. They were prompted by an apparent augeas error in BZ 613967 which didn't display useful error message. The error seems to happen in Converter::Linux. GuestOS::RedHat had a handy function which displayed verbose augeas error messages. This function moves into the new module where it can be used by both modules. The second patch is an consequential tidy

Hi, I have a question about memory page tables in Xen. As far as I understood, every modification to page table will go through Xen(hypervisor). Is it so that all page tables are actually allocated in Xen(hypervisor) instead of guest OS(domain)? Also, is it the case that Xen(hypervisor) needs to maintain a page table for each process running in every domain? Thanks Haifeng

The following patches add RHEL 6 guest support to virt-v2v. This was actually quite a lot easier than I expected. * [PATCH 1/4] Update virt-v2v.conf for RHEL 6 virtio support * [PATCH 2/4] Check kudzu exists before attempting to disable it * [PATCH 3/4] Use dracut rather than mkinitrd if it's available * [PATCH 4/4] Properly convert RHEL 6 guest console

remap_block_devices was modifying the global device list while remapping device names for libata guests (which includes RHEL 6).

We were previously forcing the augeas Modprobe lens to match modules.conf and conf.modules. It turns out that the contents of these files are quite different to modprobe.conf, requiring a new lens. This change keeps the logic which looks for where modules should go, but doesn't update the augeas configuration. If there is no augeas lens for /etc/modules.conf, any attempt to parse or modify it
