Hi Arik, Shahar, Richard,
We would like to test and contribute to the "Extended import of Virtual
Machines" project [1].
Our particular interest is in importing VMs (from libvirt domains or other
existing oVirt storage domains) into oVirt ideally avoiding image
conversions.
This would be achieved by moving existing raw/qcow2 images into a given
oVirt storage domain (using 'mv' instead of 'qemu-img') and dealing with
the
OVF_STORE files.
A problem we faced is that importing VMs using virt-v2v is currently broken
in 3.6-rc1 as Richard W.M. Jones reported some weeks ago [2].
Hi,
Take a look at file vdsm/vdsm/v2v.py which have two convert methods:
1. convert_external_vm (convert from libvirt)
2. convert_ova (convert from a ova tar file)
You can add an entry there (which is called from API.py that you will need to
patch as well).
Both methods are calling to external command virt-v2v in order to convert the
disk images which you don't need - but you do need something else that will
copy/move your images.
Please note for the status, description and progress fields which are
reporting back to oVirt engine.
You will need to address the abort() method as well.
Shahar.
