Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH v3 0/5] v2v: more control over device types

The decision on which device type to use for disks, network and video cards on output used to be taken deep inside the converting functions. This is not always desirable. In particular, there are scenarios when this decision is made before the convertion takes place. E.g. in in-place mode, the decisions are taken and the output VM configuration is created outside of v2v tool. This patchset adds support for such scenarios. Specifically, - the input configuration parsers are taught to extract network and video device models in addition to storage controllers - the converting functions are taught to take the requested device types into consideration - the main routine in in-place mode takes the relevant data from the input VM and passes it to the converter The copying mode may eventually also profit from this patchset by taking command-line options for controlling device types, but this isn't included here. --- v3: - assume that source config in --in-place mode can't have more than one storage, network, and video types - add patch to better explain --in-place v2: - add catch-all string-valued variants for source network and video adapter models - use match instead of mixing match and if Roman Kagan (5): v2v: collect source network and video adapter types v2v: introduce requested guestcaps type v2v: take requested caps into account when converting v2v: in-place: request caps based on source config v2v: better explain --in-place test-data/phony-guests/guests.xml.in | 8 ++++ v2v/convert_linux.ml | 49 ++++++++++++++----- v2v/convert_windows.ml | 4 +- v2v/input_disk.ml | 2 + v2v/input_libvirtxml.ml | 27 +++++++++++ v2v/input_ova.ml | 2 + v2v/modules_list.ml | 3 +- v2v/modules_list.mli | 3 +- v2v/test-v2v-i-ova-formats.expected | 1 + v2v/test-v2v-i-ova-gz.expected | 1 + v2v/test-v2v-i-ova-two-disks.expected | 1 + v2v/test-v2v-print-source.sh | 4 +- v2v/types.ml | 77 +++++++++++++++++++++++++----- v2v/types.mli | 21 ++++++++- v2v/v2v.ml | 66 ++++++++++++++++++++++++-- v2v/virt-v2v.pod | 3 +- v2v/windows_virtio.ml | 89 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------- v2v/windows_virtio.mli | 6 +++ 18 files changed, 310 insertions(+), 57 deletions(-)
