Hi Arik,Shahar,
(Adding libguestfs mailing-list)
Hi Nitin,
I am looking to migrate VMs from Openstack Juno to Openstack Newton
and
from VMWare to Openstack Newton.
While doing google search I came across the link authored by you,
https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/virt-v2v-integ...
.
Did the tool discussed in the link would be suitable for above requirement
?
I did not find any download link of the tool, if the tool is open source
then can you share the download link.
No, that feature is about wrapping virt-v2v in order to provide end-users
of oVirt with a better process for importing VMs to oVirt. It is irrelevant
for OpenStack.
Right now I am looking to execute a PoC project to demonstrate that the
“VM migration from Openstack Juno to Openstack Newton and from VMWare to
Openstack Newton” is possible using virt-v2v.
The virt-v2v tool, which is part of libguestfs, is ideal for converting VMs
from foreign hypervisors to KVM, and from VMware to OpenStack in
particular, see [1].
However, as far as I know, it is not supposed to be used for converting
from one version of OpenStack to another, you could probably do that
differently.

However this _is_ the intended use case for virt-v2v.
We recently added upstream support to directly upload VMs to OpenStack:
http://libguestfs.org/virt-v2v.1.html#output-to-openstack
It's available in Fedora Rawhide or by compiling from source, and will
be part of the next upstream release of libguestfs (1.40, soonish).
Also I have built a virt-v2v package which supports ‘-o openstack’ for
RHEL 7.6 which you can install from this repository:
https://people.redhat.com/~rjones/virt-v2v-RHEL-7.6-lp/
We're also developing a graphical user interface to drive this as part
of the ManageIQ project.
http://manageiq.org/
But right now you have to read the manual and drive it from the
command line.

Thank you guys for your response to a stranger.
Can you provide some web link which will guide me for openstack Juno to openstack Newton
migration.

As Arik says, you should _not_ use virt-v2v when moving from KVM to KVM.
I'm curious what's wrong with it? I'd expect it to work just fine...

It makes a bunch of unnecessary changes to the guest configuration.
It's not forbidden, it's just not a good idea.
(This might not apply in your specific use case where you're trying to
install virtio drivers, I'm talking about general v2v users.)
