Hi,
I am encountering an issue with virt-v2v where I need to authenticate to the vCenter as DOMAIN\user.
I have tried the following with the resulting errors:
1. 'virt-v2v -v -x -ic 'vpx://vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' vm_name -o local -of raw -os /tmp' - prompted for username password - entered 'DOMAIN\User' as username - successfully retrieves libvirt xml - errors with 'virt-v2v: error: vcenter: incorrect username or password.'
2. virt-v2v -v -x -ic 'vpx://DOMAIN\user@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' vm_name -o local -of raw -os /tmp - errors immediately with virt-v2v: error: could not parse '-ic vpx://DOMAIN\user@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1'. Original error message was: parse_uri: unable to parse URI
What is the correct syntax for entering the authenticating user as 'DOMAIN\user' for virt-v2v?
That's a very good question, and I have no idea at all :-(
[root@virt-v2v ~]# virt-v2v -v -x -ic 'vpx://DOMAIN\user@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' vm_name -o local -of raw -os /tmp virt-v2v: error: could not parse '-ic vpx://DOMAIN\user@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1'. Original error message was: parse_uri: unable to parse URI
How about trying this URL: -ic 'vpx://DOMAIN%5cuser@vcenter/Datacenter/cluster_name/esx_server?no_verify=1' Note that %5c is the URL escape for backslash.
