Re: [Users] virt-v2v convert failed
Hello,
I tried to convert kvm(libvirt) guest to oVirt 3.3 on computer
running
fedora 19 and it fails. I was converting 450GB VM with windows 2008.
Output is:
Caching w2k8t.qcow2: 100%
[===============================================]D19h52m18s
Error in mkstemp using /tmp/XXXXXXXXXX: Could not create temp file
/tmp/lLmnkh9ktk: Operation not permited at
/usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/VirtConvert/ExecHelper.pm line 74.
Command was:
virt-v2v -i libvirt -ic qemu+ssh://root@server.example.org/system -o
rhev -os 10.20.30.40:/export -of qcow2 -oa sparse -n ovirtmgmt w2k8t
My /tmp (where it caches) was big enough, because I connected 1TB
external drive as /tmp
mkstemp is part of the core perl library, and if it reports that it
can't write to /tmp then it's almost certainly correct. Are you sure you
made /tmp world writeable when when you mounted your external drive?
I used virt-v2v-0.9.0-3.fc19.i686.
Same problem was with Linux server. It fails with same problem.
And the second question is, how to convert that big VM faster? Is it
possible to connect to libvirt daemon without ssh? Or even convert
VM
offline on virt-v2v capable pc (fedora, centos, rhel)?
You could run virt-v2v on your libvirt/kvm host. That way it wouldn't
have to copy it over the network. It also wouldn't have to use any space
in /tmp.
