Few issues came up after talking with storage team:
The actual import VM will take place in two steps:
1. SPM call to create the volume.
2. HSM call virt-v2v with the created UUIDs by the first SPM call.
The virt-v2v don't need to create any directory or volume since
the SPM create volume will create the structure for us.
Rich: is that ok with the current virt-v2v?
Before creating the volume we are running a virt-v2v convert with --no-copy,
which mean we don't copy the disk only get the ovf, by doing that we don't
have the actual size of the disk - which cause a problem in block device where
we need to preallocate the volume and to make sure that the destination have
room for the new disk.
Rich: Can we get the estimated size when we run with --no-copy?
Some notes:
Since the second call is an HSM call we need to make sure that we take the
virt-v2v "tasks" into consideration when it comes to host life cycle.
