I've been reading through archives but not able to find what i need. Essentially what I'm trying to do is migrate a larger number of VMs from our OVM environment to a new OLVM setup. In an effort to reduce lots of replication and copying of the disk image (export, convert, copy over, import etc.) I found this article which shows a pretty slick way to do it in one shot https://blogs.oracle.com/scoter/post/how-to-migrate-oracle-vm-to-oracle-linu... The main command behind it all is the virt-v2v that makes it possible. It looks something like this: virt-v2v -i libvirtxml vm-test1.xml -o rhv-upload -oc https://<OLVM-server>/ovirt-engine/api -os <my storage> -op /tmp/ovirt-admin-password -of raw -oo rhv-cluster=Default -oo rhv-cafile=/root/ca.pem The problem I'm having is I cannot authenticate with my new OLVM server at the ovirt-engine/api URL. Since user/password is depricated and you must use OAuth 2.0 with a token I'm stuck. I have OLVM 4.5.4-1.0.27.el8 and from what I've read in oVirt 4.5 (not sure what version it started) they use keycloak oAuth 2.0 and the older ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool is now deprecated. In doing some testing I found I can use curl and authenticate against the ovirt-engine/api and get a token like this: OVIRT_ENGINE_URL="https://<myolvm1>/ovirt-engine" USERNAME="admin@ovirt@internalsso" PASSWORD="<mypassword>" CLUSTER_NAME="Default" TOKEN=$(curl -k -X POST -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "grant_type=password &username=$USERNAME&password=$PASSWORD&scope=ovirt-app-api" $OVIRT_ENGINE_URL/sso/oauth/token | jq -r '.access_token') I was then able to query the API to validate my token works curl -k -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "$OVIRT_ENGINE_URL/api/clusters?search=name=$CLUSTER_NAME" The problem is virt-v2v does not support posting any form information or the token to authenticate. Best I can tell the -oc option is strictly the URL and if you want a username in there it's in the form of https://<name>@<server>. So even if I wrote a script and used curl to authenticate and get a token I still can't find a way to make virt-v2v use it. So I'm stuck how do I get virt-v2v working? Is there a way to re-enable the deprecated user/pass method of accessing the ovirt-engine/api ? or as a last resort a way to get virt-v2v supporting the token? Thanks for any insight Malcolm
