I thought I'd check if there was an official way before hacking it. I am going to try to set up a dedicated node running Fedora 23 as an import node with loads of disk space since I'll then be able to import Win 2012 as well, as hopefully the F23 version of virt-v2v supports 2012 (F24 does, but it isn't a supported oVirt node OS version). <br><br></div>Cheers,<br><br></div>Cam<br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 30, 2016 at 2:49 PM, Jakub Niedermertl <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jniederm@redhat.com" target="_blank">jniederm@redhat.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Cam,<br>
<br>
unfortunately there is no direct support for customizing TMPDIR in engine. It can be solved by calling `virt-v2v` indirectly:<br>
<br>
# cp /usr/bin/virt-v2v /usr/bin/virt-v2v-original<br>
# cat > /usr/bin/virt-v2v <<EOF<br>
> #!/usr/bin/sh<br>
> env TMPDIR=/path/to/custom/tmp /usr/bin/virt-v2v-original $@<br>
> EOF<br>
<br>
This solution will only survive till next virt-v2v update.<br>
