Hello,
I’m using virt-p2v tool to do some VM migrations from unsupported hypervisors and stumbled
across the need of a virt-v2v dedicated server to handle conversions.
My first action was: rpm -qa on oVirt Node and found virt-v2v already installed. So the
natural ideia was to use oVirt Node as the conversion server, it already have everything
needed: virt-v2v and the export domain. So why not?
Well, it turns out it doesn’t work. After pointing to oVirt Node within virt-p2v tool, the
conversion procedure hangs at the begging, requesting an username and password for libvirt
that I’m unaware. And even if I was aware it is impossible to input the values since
there’s no escape from the console to put the values nor any form on the GUI to do so.
libguestfs: libvirt version = 4005000 (4.5.0)
libguestfs: guest random name = guestfs-sf2i0jl3mmcxtwly
libguestfs: connect to libvirt
libguestfs: opening libvirt handle: URI = qemu:///system, auth = default+wrapper, flags =
0
libvirt needs authentication to connect to libvirt URI qemu:///system
(see also:
http://libvirt.org/auth.html http://libvirt.org/uri.html)
Please enter your authentication name: Please enter your password:
I eventually gave up and spun a VM with virt-v2v and the conversion is running.
The question is: wasn’t a good ideia to use oVirt Node as the conversion server? Why it
failed? I still have a lot of conversions to do, and if I can use the node installation it
would be great.
Thanks,
