Based on feedback from Liran and Arik, here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1976607#c3
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1976607#c4
I should use
<Device>vga</Device>
not
<rasd:Device>vga</rasd:Device>
and then ovirt-engine already has code to handle that.
Liran: in comment 3 on the above BZ, you provide the snippet
<Item>
<rasd:Caption>Graphical Controller</rasd:Caption>
<rasd:InstanceID>2834786b-e9d0-4419-8e6a-c4843fed2f9c</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceType>32768</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:VirtualQuantity>1</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
<rasd:SinglePciQxl>false</rasd:SinglePciQxl>
<Type>video</Type>
<Device>vga</Device>
<rasd:Address></rasd:Address>
<BootOrder>0</BootOrder>
<IsPlugged>true</IsPlugged>
<IsReadOnly>false</IsReadOnly>
<Alias></Alias>
<SpecParams>
<vram>16384</vram>
</SpecParams>
</Item>
From these, virt-v2v does not provide the following at all:
- rasd:SinglePciQxl
- rasd:Address
- BootOrder
- IsPlugged
- IsReadOnly
- Alias
- SpecParams (with child node "vram")
Are any of these required, in addition to <Device>vga</Device>?
It will auto set some of the values on import.
For being extra careful I checked a VM that I exported omitting these
values from the VGA item and it got imported back well(+ran).
This was the snippet for the device:
<Item>
<rasd:Caption>Graphical Controller</rasd:Caption>
<rasd:InstanceID>2834786b-e9d0-4419-8e6a-c4843fed2f9c</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceType>32768</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:VirtualQuantity>1</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
<Type>video</Type>
<Device>vga</Device>
</Item>
