[ovirt-users] Issues importing VMs in oVirt

Cam,

«Inventory -> Hosts and Clusters» represents path to required host in URL.

It is not visible in the default tree view, but if you go to Home->Inventory->VMs and Templates you can see the folders.

The structure looks like:

nssesxi-mgmt
   --> North Sutton Street
        --> Systems
             --> vm1 etc

Not sure why the cluster name disappears from this view.

Cheers,

Campbell

So there is no Systems folder?

Try:
vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt.ldn.arda.net?no_verify=1<http://nssesxi04-mgmt.ldn.arda.net?no_verify=1>

Hi Pavel,

I can't do a screenshot right now, but the structure in vCenter is:

nssesxi-mgmt.ldn.arda.net<http://nssesxi-mgmt.ldn.arda.net>
      --> North Sutton Street
            --> nssesxi
                  --> nssesxi01-mgmt.ldn.arda.net<http://nssesxi01-mgmt.ldn.arda.net>
                       nssesxi02-mgmt.ldn.arda.net<http://nssesxi02-mgmt.ldn.arda.net>
                       nssesxi03-mgmt.ldn.arda.net<http://nssesxi03-mgmt.ldn.arda.net>
                       nssesxi04-mgmt.ldn.arda.net<http://nssesxi04-mgmt.ldn.arda.net>
                       nssesxi05-mgmt.ldn.arda.net<http://nssesxi05-mgmt.ldn.arda.net>

I've tried fully qualified names, but the same error occurs.

Cheers,

Cam

Cam,

It's another error. Now there is an issue with esxi server name – 'nssesxi04-mgmt'. It must be the same as appears in vcenter. A screenshot of vcenter tree would help.

Please note, there is no need to double escape the URL.

Hi Pavel,

I've tried those URLs (and quite a few other permutations) but get the following errors:

vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1

Enter ARDA\cam's password for nssesxi-mgmt:
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: Could not find host system specified in '/North Sutton Street/Systems/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt'

vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/North%20Sutton%20Street/Systems/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1

Enter ARDA\cam's password for nssesxi-mgmt:
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: Could not find host system specified in '/North Sutton Street/Systems/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt'

If I double escape the spaces with %2520, it reports it can't find the datacenter.

Cheers,

Campbell

Cam,

I believe the URL must be the following:
vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1
or
vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/North%20Sutton%20Street/Systems/nssesxi/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1

Hi,

I am trying to import and convert some VMWare guests from a VMWare cluster with vCenter version 6, to a KVM (oVirt) host. The KVM node (RHEL 7.2) has virt-v2v 1.28.1, though I've also tried using Fedora 23 which has 1.32.4.

The details are:

vCenter server: nssesxi-mgmt
Datacenter name: North Sutton Street
esxi server which runs the VM: nssesxi-mgmt04
folder name: Systems
VM name: wvm2
cluster name: nssesxi

I tried via the 'Import' option in the oVirt GUI, and put the details above in, and after thinking about it for a while, it returns a 500 internal server error. As I'm authing against AD, I put my username as cam at ARDA. I have attached the log (gzipped).

I've also tried via the command line, and the result is much the same. I did post the below to the libvirt-users mailing list but have not had a response, so I thought I'd see if anyone here might know what is going on.

Unfortunately, spaces were put in the name of the datacenter, so I escape them with %20

So the final URI is constructed as:

vpx://<DOMAIN\user@<vcenter_server>/<folder>/<datacenter_name>/<esxi_server> <vm_name>

The error I get is:

# virt-v2v -v -x -ic vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1 wvm2
virt-v2v: libguestfs 1.28.1 (x86_64)
[   0.0] Opening the source -i libvirt -ic vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1 wvm2
input_libvirt_vcenter_https: source: scheme vpx server nssesxi-mgmt
Enter ARDA\cam's password for nssesxi-mgmt:
libvirt: ESX Driver error : internal error: Could not find compute resource specified in '/Systems/North Sutton Street/nssesxi04-mgmt'

connection
'vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1'

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:

  virt-v2v -v -x [...]
#

# virsh -c 'vpx://ARDA%5ccam@nssesxi-mgmt/Systems/North%20Sutton%20Street/nssesxi04-mgmt?no_verify=1' list --all
Enter ARDA\cam's password for nssesxi-mgmt:
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: internal error: Could not find compute resource specified in '/Systems/North Sutton Street/nssesxi04-mgmt'
#

I can access via http a list of VMs at the following URL:

https://nssesxi-mgmt/folder?dcPath=North%2520Sutton%2520Street&dsName=nssesxi%252dc2%252dr10%252dlun2

Below is the URI to the vm itself (once shutdown, it gets the name 'vm2_1'):

https://nssesxi-mgmt/folder/wvm2_1?dcPath=North%2520Sutton%2520Street&dsName=nssesxi%252dc1%252dr10%252dlun2

Any ideas?

Cheers,

-Cam
