Hi, I want to add a utility to VDSM that stream domains disks from Libvirt remote machine to oVirt. This utility is needed for importing kvm based VMs to oVirt, currently we are importing VMWare and Xen VMs via virt-v2v which doesn't support kvm based VMs. The tool should mimic virt-v2v output for smooth integration for v2v module in VDSM. As I see it the VDSM will parse the domain xml pass to the utility the source disks keys (remote path) and will prepare local image for the streaming: $ kvmstream --uri qemu://mydomain.com/system --in /remote/disk1.img,/remote/disk2.img --out /local/disk1.img,/local/disk2.img The underline implementation is: VDSM parse domain xml looks for storage disks, prepare images pass to the utility the local/remove disks, The utility open connection to remote Libvirt use storageVolLookupByPath to locate each remote disk and uses virStorageVolDownload(remote, local) to stream the disks to VDSM. POC is ready download images with virt-v2v output, Any suggestions/notes? Thanks, Shahar Havivi.
