Hi,
I spent the last few hours playing with virt-p2v, and here are few things
that I found, please tell me on which to submit a bug report:
1. I created a boot image (without any parameters) and tested it using
virt-manager. With QXL driver, when it loads the Xorg, it shows .. a blank
screen (I tried it tens of times). With VirtIO it works.
Unclear, you'd probably need to look at the logs from the virtual
machine to see what's going on.
2. RHV-Upload - I see that the functionality is there, but there
is a
missing field for password. Since I don't have oVirt installed at the
moment, does it asks for the password from the user? could someone please
add a box for this if the user chooses RHV-Upload?
rhv-upload from p2v is currently known to be broken:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1603149
It may work using the kernel command line, but it's not really been
tested.
3. There network to connect to - I think GUI wise, that it's
not
understandable that you need to click the word "default" and change the
name manually. Perhaps change the name from "default" to something like
"Type Network Name"?
Where exactly is this in the UI?
4. Looks like there is no way to type a pool name to export to (if
I
select libvirt) or am I missing something? (let's say I have a pool called
NAS-10G). In the -os field I'm trying to put the NAS-10G (as the virt-v2v
man page suggests), but this seems not work.
Put the pool name into the storage (-os) field.
5. Is there a way to access the ncurses mode? (for some really
old
machines who don't respect VESA).
No, but you can run virt-p2v automatically from the kernel command
line. See the manual for an explanation. There is no text UI mode,
nor is it ever planned.
