DESCRIPTION

       Virt-v2v converts guests from a foreign hypervisor to run on KVM.  It can read Linux and Windows guests
       running on VMware, Xen, Hyper-V and some other hypervisors, and convert them to KVM managed by libvirt,
       OpenStack, oVirt, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation (RHEV) or several other targets.

       There is also a companion front-end called virt-p2v(1) which comes as an ISO, CD or PXE image that can be
       booted on physical machines to virtualize those machines (physical to virtual, or p2v).

       This manual page documents the rewritten virt-v2v included in libguestfs ≥ 1.28.

       Virt-v2v has a number of possible input and output modes, selected using the -i and -o options.  Only one
       input and output mode can be selected for each run of virt-v2v.

       -i disk is used for reading from local disk images (mainly for testing).

       -i libvirt is used for reading from any libvirt source.  Since libvirt can connect to many different
       hypervisors, it is used for reading guests from VMware, RHEL 5 Xen and more.  The -ic option selects the
       precise libvirt source.

       -i libvirtxml is used to read from libvirt XML files.  This is the method used by virt-p2v(1) behind the
       scenes.

       -i ova is used for reading from a VMware ova source file.

       -o glance is used for writing to OpenStack Glance.

       -o libvirt is used for writing to any libvirt target.  Libvirt can connect to local or remote KVM
       hypervisors.  The -oc option selects the precise libvirt target.

       -o local is used to write to a local disk image with a local libvirt configuration file (mainly for
       testing).

       -o qemu writes to a local disk image with a shell script for booting the guest directly in qemu (mainly
       for testing).

       -o rhev is used to write to a RHEV-M / oVirt target.  -o vdsm is only used when virt-v2v runs under VDSM
       control.

       --in-place instructs virt-v2v to customize the guest OS in the input virtual machine, instead of creating
       a new VM in the target hypervisor.

EXAMPLES

   Convert from VMware vCenter server to local libvirt
       You have a VMware vCenter server called "vcenter.example.com", a datacenter called "Datacenter", and an
       ESXi hypervisor called "esxi".  You want to convert a guest called "vmware_guest" to run locally under
       libvirt.

        virt-v2v -ic vpx://vcenter.example.com/Datacenter/esxi vmware_guest

       In this case you will most likely have to run virt-v2v as "root", since it needs to talk to the system
       libvirt daemon and copy the guest disks to /var/lib/libvirt/images.

       For more information see "INPUT FROM VMWARE VCENTER SERVER" below.

   Convert from VMware to RHEV-M/oVirt
       This is the same as the previous example, except you want to send the guest to a RHEV-M Export Storage
       Domain which is located remotely (over NFS) at "rhev.nfs:/export_domain".  If you are unclear about the
       location of the Export Storage Domain you should check the settings on your RHEV-M management console.
       Guest network interface(s) are connected to the target network called "rhevm".

        virt-v2v -ic vpx://vcenter.example.com/Datacenter/esxi vmware_guest \
          -o rhev -os rhev.nfs:/export_domain --network rhevm

       In this case the host running virt-v2v acts as a conversion server.

       Note that after conversion, the guest will appear in the RHEV-M Export Storage Domain, from where you
       will need to import it using the RHEV-M user interface.  (See "OUTPUT TO RHEV").

   Convert disk image to OpenStack glance
       Given a disk image from another hypervisor that you want to convert to run on OpenStack (only KVM-based
       OpenStack is supported), you can do:

        virt-v2v -i disk disk.img -o glance

       To control the name of the image in Glance, use the -on option.

   Convert disk image to disk image
       Given a disk image from another hypervisor that you want to convert to run on KVM, you have two options.
       The simplest way is to try:

        virt-v2v -i disk disk.img -o local -os /var/tmp

       where virt-v2v guesses everything about the input disk.img and (in this case) writes the converted result
       to /var/tmp.

       A more complex method is to write some libvirt XML describing the input guest (if you can get the source
       hypervisor to provide you with libvirt XML, then so much the better).  You can then do:

        virt-v2v -i libvirtxml guest-domain.xml -o local -os /var/tmp

       Since guest-domain.xml contains the path(s) to the guest disk image(s) you do not need to specify the
       name of the disk image on the command line.

       To convert a local disk image and immediately boot it in local qemu, do:

        virt-v2v -i disk disk.img -o qemu -os /var/tmp --qemu-boot

           We use Windows internal version numbers, see
           https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_Windows_versions

           Currently NT 5.2 to NT 6.3 are supported.

           See "WINDOWS" below for additional notes on converting Windows guests.

   Guest firmware
       BIOS or UEFI for all guest types (but see "UEFI" below).

OPTIONS

       --help
           Display help.

       -b ...
       --bridge ...
           See --network below.

       --compressed
           Write a compressed output file.  This is only allowed if the output format is qcow2 (see -of below),
           and is equivalent to the -c option of qemu-img(1).

       --dcpath Folder/Datacenter
           NB: You don't need to use this parameter if you have libvirt ≥ 1.2.20.

           For VMware vCenter, override the "dcPath=..." parameter used to select the datacenter.  Virt-v2v can
           usually calculate this from the "vpx://" URI, but if it gets it wrong, then you can override it using
           this setting.  Go to your vCenter web folder interface, eg.  "https://vcenter.example.com/folder"
           (without a trailing slash), and examine the "dcPath=" parameter in the URLs that appear on this page.

       --debug-gc
           Debug garbage collection and memory allocation.  This is only useful when debugging memory problems
           in virt-v2v or the OCaml libguestfs bindings.

       --debug-overlays
           Save the overlay file(s) created during conversion.  This option is only used for debugging virt-v2v
           and may be removed in a future version.

       -i disk
           Set the input method to disk.

           In this mode you can read a virtual machine disk image with no metadata.  virt-v2v tries to guess the
           best default metadata.  This is usually adequate but you can get finer control (eg. of memory and
           vCPUs) by using -i libvirtxml instead.  Only guests that use a single disk can be imported this way.

       -i libvirt
           Set the input method to libvirt.  This is the default.

           In this mode you have to specify a libvirt guest name or UUID on the command line.  You may also
           specify a libvirt connection URI (see -ic).

       -i libvirtxml
           Set the input method to libvirtxml.

           In this mode you have to pass a libvirt XML file on the command line.  This file is read in order to
           get metadata about the source guest (such as its name, amount of memory), and also to locate the
           input disks.  See "MINIMAL XML FOR -i libvirtxml OPTION" below.

       -i local
           This is the same as -i disk.

       -i ova
           Set the input method to ova.

           In this mode you can read a VMware ova file.  Virt-v2v will read the ova manifest file and check the
           vmdk volumes for validity (checksums) as well as analyzing the ovf file, and then convert the guest.
           See "INPUT FROM VMWARE OVA" below

       -ic libvirtURI
           Specify a libvirt connection URI to use when reading the guest.  This is only used when -i libvirt.

           Only local libvirt connections, VMware vCenter connections, or RHEL 5 Xen remote connections can be
           used.  Other remote libvirt connections will not work in general.

           See also "INPUT FROM VMWARE VCENTER SERVER", "INPUT FROM RHEL 5 XEN" below.

       -if format
           For -i disk only, this specifies the format of the input disk image.  For other input methods you
           should specify the input format in the metadata.

       --in-place
           Do not create an output virtual machine in the target hypervisor.  Instead, adjust the guest OS in
           the source VM to run in the input hypervisor.

           This mode is meant for integration with other toolsets, which take the responsibility of converting
           the VM configuration, providing for rollback in case of errors, transforming the storage, etc.

           Conflicts with all -o * options.

       --machine-readable
           This option is used to make the output more machine friendly when being parsed by other programs.
           See "MACHINE READABLE OUTPUT" below.

       -n in:out
       -n out
       --network in:out
       --network out
       -b in:out
       -b out
       --bridge in:out
       --bridge out
           Map network (or bridge) called "in" to network (or bridge) called "out".  If no "in:" prefix is
           given, all other networks (or bridges) are mapped to "out".

           See "NETWORKS AND BRIDGES" below.

       --no-copy
           Don't copy the disks.  Instead, conversion is performed (and thrown away), and metadata is written,
           but no disks are created.  See also discussion of -o null below.

           This is useful in two cases: Either you want to test if conversion is likely to succeed, without the
           long copying process.  Or you are only interested in looking at the metadata.

           This option is not compatible with -o libvirt since it would create a faulty guest (one with no
           disks).

           This option is not compatible with -o glance for technical reasons.

       --no-trim all
       --no-trim mp[,mp...]
           By default virt-v2v runs fstrim(8) to reduce the amount of data that needs to be copied.  This is
           known to break some buggy bootloaders causing boot failures after conversion (see for example
           https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141145#c27).

           You can use --no-trim all to disable all trimming.  Note this will greatly increase the amount of
           data that has to be copied and can make virt-v2v run much more slowly.

           You can also disable trimming on selected filesystems only (specified by a comma-separated list of
           their mount point(s) in the guest).  Typically you would use --no-trim /boot to work around the grub
           bug mentioned above.

           You can also disable trimming on partitions using the libguestfs naming scheme for devices, eg:
           --no-trim /dev/sdb2 means do not trim the second partition on the second block device.  Use
           virt-filesystems(1) to list filesystem names in a guest.

       -o disk
           This is the same as -o local.

       -o glance
           Set the output method to OpenStack Glance.  In this mode the converted guest is uploaded to Glance.
           You can control the image name by setting the -on option.

       -o libvirt
           Set the output method to libvirt.  This is the default.

           In this mode, the converted guest is created as a libvirt guest.  You may also specify a libvirt
           connection URI (see -oc).

           See "OUTPUT TO LIBVIRT" below.

       -o local
           Set the output method to local.

           In this mode, the converted guest is written to a local directory specified by -os /dir (the
           directory must exist).  The converted guest's disks are written as:

            /dir/name-sda
            /dir/name-sdb
            [etc]

           and a libvirt XML file is created containing guest metadata:

            /dir/name.xml

           where "name" is the guest name.

       -o null
           Set the output method to null.

           The guest is converted and copied (unless you also specify --no-copy), but the results are thrown
           away and no metadata is written.

       -o ovirt
           This is the same as -o rhev.

       -o qemu
           Set the output method to qemu.

           This is similar to -o local, except that a shell script is written which you can use to boot the
           guest in qemu.  The converted disks and shell script are written to the directory specified by -os.

           When using this output mode, you can also specify the --qemu-boot option which boots the guest under
           qemu immediately.

       -o rhev
           Set the output method to rhev.

           The converted guest is written to a RHEV Export Storage Domain.  The -os parameter must also be used
           to specify the location of the Export Storage Domain.  Note this does not actually import the guest
           into RHEV.  You have to do that manually later using the UI.

           See "OUTPUT TO RHEV" below.

       -o vdsm
           Set the output method to vdsm.

           This mode is similar to -o rhev, but the full path to the data domain must be given:
           /rhev/data-center/<data-center-uuid>/<data-domain-uuid>.  This mode is only used when virt-v2v runs
           under VDSM control.

       -oa sparse
       -oa preallocated
           Set the output file allocation mode.  The default is "sparse".

       -oc libvirtURI
           Specify a libvirt connection to use when writing the converted guest.  This is only used when
           -o libvirt.  See "OUTPUT TO LIBVIRT" below.

           Only local libvirt connections can be used.  Remote libvirt connections will not work.

       -of format
           When converting the guest, convert the disks to the given format.

           If not specified, then the input format is used.

       -on name
           Rename the guest when converting it.  If this option is not used then the output name is the same as
           the input name.

       -os storage
           The location of the storage for the converted guest.

           For -o libvirt, this is a libvirt directory pool (see "virsh pool-list") or pool UUID.

           For -o local and -o qemu, this is a directory name.  The directory must exist.

           For -o rhev, this can be an NFS path of the Export Storage Domain of the form "<host>:<path>", eg:

            rhev-storage.example.com:/rhev/export

           The NFS export must be mountable and writable by the user and host running virt-v2v, since the
           virt-v2v program has to actually mount it when it runs.  So you probably have to run virt-v2v as
           "root".

           Or: You can mount the Export Storage Domain yourself, and point -os to the mountpoint.  Note that
           virt-v2v will still need to write to this remote directory, so virt-v2v will still need to run as
           "root".

           You will get an error if virt-v2v is unable to mount/write to the Export Storage Domain.

       --password-file file
           Instead of asking for password(s) interactively, pass the password through a file.  Note the file
           should contain the whole password, without any trailing newline, and for security the file should
           have mode 0600 so that others cannot read it.

       --print-source
           Print information about the source guest and stop.  This option is useful when you are setting up
           network and bridge maps.  See "NETWORKS AND BRIDGES".

       --qemu-boot
           When using -o qemu only, this boots the guest immediately after virt-v2v finishes.

       -q
       --quiet
           This disables progress bars and other unnecessary output.

       --root ask
       --root single
       --root first
       --root /dev/sdX
       --root /dev/VG/LV
           Choose the root filesystem to be converted.

           In the case where the virtual machine is dual-boot or multi-boot, or where the VM has other
           filesystems that look like operating systems, this option can be used to select the root filesystem
           (a.k.a. "C:" drive or /) of the operating system that is to be converted.  The Windows Recovery
           Console, certain attached DVD drives, and bugs in libguestfs inspection heuristics, can make a guest
           look like a multi-boot operating system.

           The default in virt-v2v ≤ 0.7.1 was --root single, which causes virt-v2v to die if a multi-boot
           operating system is found.

           Since virt-v2v ≥ 0.7.2 the default is now --root ask: If the VM is found to be multi-boot, then
           virt-v2v will stop and list the possible root filesystems and ask the user which to use.  This
           requires that virt-v2v is run interactively.

           --root first means to choose the first root device in the case of a multi-boot operating system.
           Since this is a heuristic, it may sometimes choose the wrong one.

           You can also name a specific root device, eg. --root /dev/sda2 would mean to use the second partition
           on the first hard drive.  If the named root device does not exist or was not detected as a root
           device, then virt-v2v will fail.

           Note that there is a bug in grub which prevents it from successfully booting a multiboot system if
           VirtIO is enabled.  Grub is only able to boot an operating system from the first VirtIO disk.
           Specifically, /boot must be on the first VirtIO disk, and it cannot chainload an OS which is not in
           the first VirtIO disk.

       --vdsm-image-uuid UUID
       --vdsm-vol-uuid UUID
       --vdsm-vm-uuid UUID
       --vdsm-ovf-output
           Normally the RHEV output mode chooses random UUIDs for the target guest.  However VDSM needs to
           control the UUIDs and passes these parameters when virt-v2v runs under VDSM control.  The parameters
           control:

           •   the image directory of each guest disk (--vdsm-image-uuid) (this option is passed once for each
               guest disk)

           •   UUIDs for each guest disk (--vdsm-vol-uuid) (this option is passed once for each guest disk)

           •   the OVF file name (--vdsm-vm-uuid).

           •   the OVF output directory (default current directory) (--vdsm-ovf-output).

           The format of UUIDs is: "12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc" (each hex digit can be "0-9" or
           "a-f"), conforming to OSF DCE 1.1.

           These options can only be used with -o vdsm.

       -v
       --verbose
           Enable verbose messages for debugging.

       -V
       --version
           Display version number and exit.

       --vmtype desktop
       --vmtype server
           For the -o rhev or -o vdsm targets only, specify the type of guest.  You can set this to "desktop" or
           "server".  If the option is not given, then a suitable default is chosen based on the detected guest
           operating system.

       -x  Enable tracing of libguestfs API calls.

XEN PARAVIRTUALIZED GUESTS

       Older versions of virt-v2v could turn a Xen paravirtualized (PV) guest into a KVM guest by installing a
       new kernel.  This version of virt-v2v does not attempt to install any new kernels.  Instead it will give
       you an error if there are only Xen PV kernels available.

       Therefore before conversion you should check that a regular kernel is installed.  For some older Linux
       distributions, this means installing a kernel from the table below:

        RHEL 3         (Does not apply, as there was no Xen PV kernel)

        RHEL 4         i686 with > 10GB of RAM: install 'kernel-hugemem'
                       i686 SMP: install 'kernel-smp'
                       other i686: install 'kernel'
                       x86-64 SMP with > 8 CPUs: install 'kernel-largesmp'
                       x86-64 SMP: install 'kernel-smp'
                       other x86-64: install 'kernel'

        RHEL 5         i686: install 'kernel-PAE'
                       x86-64: install 'kernel'

        SLES 10        i586 with > 10GB of RAM: install 'kernel-bigsmp'
                       i586 SMP: install 'kernel-smp'
                       other i586: install 'kernel-default'
                       x86-64 SMP: install 'kernel-smp'
                       other x86-64: install 'kernel-default'

        SLES 11+       i586: install 'kernel-pae'
                       x86-64: install 'kernel-default'

        Windows        (Does not apply, as there is no Xen PV Windows kernel)

ENABLING VIRTIO

       "Virtio" is the name for a set of drivers which make disk (block device), network and other guest
       operations work much faster on KVM.

       Older versions of virt-v2v could install these drivers for certain Linux guests.  This version of
       virt-v2v does not attempt to install new Linux kernels or drivers, but will warn you if they are not
       installed already.

       In order to enable virtio, and hence improve performance of the guest after conversion, you should ensure
       that the minimum versions of packages are installed before conversion, by consulting the table below.

        RHEL 3         No virtio drivers are available

        RHEL 4         kernel >= 2.5.9-89.EL
                       lvm2 >= 2.02.42-5.el4
                       device-mapper >= 1.02.28-2.el4
                       selinux-policy-targeted >= 1.17.30-2.152.el4
                       policycoreutils >= 1.18.1-4.13

        RHEL 5         kernel >= 2.6.18-128.el5
                       lvm2 >= 2.02.40-6.el5
                       selinux-policy-targeted >= 2.4.6-203.el5

        RHEL 6+        All versions support virtio

        Fedora         All versions support virtio

        SLES 11+       All versions support virtio

        SLES 10        kernel >= 2.6.16.60-0.85.1

        OpenSUSE 11+   All versions support virtio

        OpenSUSE 10    kernel >= 2.6.25.5-1.1

        Windows        Drivers are installed from the directory pointed to by
                       "VIRTIO_WIN" environment variable
                       (/usr/share/virtio-win by default) if present

RHEL 4

   SELinux relabel appears to hang forever
       In RHEL ≤ 4.7 there was a bug which causes SELinux relabelling to appear to hang forever at:

        *** Warning -- SELinux relabel is required. ***
        *** Disabling security enforcement.         ***
        *** Relabeling could take a very long time, ***
        *** depending on file system size.          ***

       In reality it is waiting for you to press a key (but there is no visual indication of this).  You can
       either hit the "[Return]" key, at which point the guest will finish relabelling and reboot, or you can
       install policycoreutils ≥ 1.18.1-4.13 before starting the v2v conversion.  See also
       https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=244636

WINDOWS

   Boot failure: 0x0000007B
       This boot failure is caused by Windows being unable to find or load the right disk driver (eg.
       viostor.sys).  If you experience this error, here are some things to check:

       •   First ensure that the guest boots on the source hypervisor before conversion.

       •   Check you have the Windows virtio drivers available in /usr/share/virtio-win, and that virt-v2v did
           not print any warning about not being able to install virtio drivers.

           On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, you will need to install the signed drivers available in the
           "virtio-win" package.  If you do not have access to the signed drivers, then you will probably need
           to disable driver signing in the boot menus.

       •   Check that you are presenting a virtio-blk interface (not virtio-scsi and not ide) to the guest.  On
           the qemu/KVM command line you should see something similar to this:

            ... -drive file=windows-sda,if=virtio ...

           In libvirt XML, you should see:

            <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>

       •   Check that Windows Group Policy does not prevent the driver from being installed or used.  Try
           deleting Windows Group Policy before conversion.

       •   Check there is no anti-virus or other software which implements Group Policy-like prohibitions on
           installing or using new drivers.

       •   Enable boot debugging and check the viostor.sys driver is being loaded.

   OpenStack and Windows reactivation
       OpenStack does not offer stable device / PCI addresses to guests.  Every time it creates or starts a
       guest, it regenerates the libvirt XML for that guest from scratch.  The libvirt XML will have no
       <address> fields.  Libvirt will then assign addresses to devices, in a predictable manner.  Addresses may
       change if any of the following are true:

       •   A new disk or network device has been added or removed from the guest.

       •   The version of OpenStack or (possibly) libvirt has changed.

       Because Windows does not like "hardware" changes of this kind, it may trigger Windows reactivation.

       This can also prevent booting with a 7B error [see previous section] if the guest has group policy
       containing "Device Installation Restrictions".

UEFI

       VMware allows you to present UEFI firmware to guests (instead of the ordinary PC BIOS).  Virt-v2v can
       convert these guests, but requires that UEFI is supported by the target hypervisor.

       Currently KVM supports OVMF, a partially open source UEFI firmware, and can run these guests.

       Since OVMF support was only recently added to KVM (in 2014/2015), not all target environments support
       UEFI guests yet:

       UEFI on libvirt, qemu
           Supported.  Virt-v2v will generate the correct libvirt XML (metadata) automatically, but note that
           the same version of OVMF must be installed on the conversion host as is installed on the target
           hypervisor, else you will have to adjust paths in the metadata.

       UEFI on OpenStack
           Not supported.

       UEFI on RHEV
           Not supported.

NETWORKS AND BRIDGES

       Guests are usually connected to one or more networks, and when converted to the target hypervisor you
       usually want to reconnect those networks at the destination.  The options --network and --bridge allow
       you to do that.

       If you are unsure of what networks and bridges are in use on the source hypervisor, then you can examine
       the source metadata (libvirt XML, vCenter information, etc.).  Or you can run virt-v2v with the
       --print-source option which causes virt-v2v to print out the information it has about the guest on the
       source and then exit.

       In the --print-source output you will see a section showing the guest's Network Interface Cards (NICs):

        $ virt-v2v [-i ...] --print-source name
        [...]
        NICs:
            Network "default" mac: 52:54:00:d0:cf:0e

       This is typical of a libvirt guest: It has a single network interface connected to a network called
       "default".

       To map a specific network to a target network, for example "default" on the source to "rhevm" on the
       target, use:

        virt-v2v [...] --network default:rhevm

       To map every network to a target network, use:

        virt-v2v [...] --network rhevm

       Bridges are handled in the same way, but you have to use the --bridge option instead.  For example:

        $ virt-v2v [-i ...] --print-source name
        [...]
        NICs:
            Bridge "br0"

        $ virt-v2v [...] --bridge br0:targetbr

INPUT FROM VMWARE VCENTER SERVER

       Virt-v2v is able to import guests from VMware vCenter Server.

       vCenter ≥ 5.0 is required.  If you don't have vCenter, using OVA is recommended instead (see "INPUT FROM
       VMWARE OVA" below), or if that is not possible then see "INPUT FROM VMWARE ESXi HYPERVISOR".

       Virt-v2v uses libvirt for access to vCenter, and therefore the input mode should be -i libvirt.  As this
       is the default, you don't need to specify it on the command line.

   VCENTER: REMOVE VMWARE TOOLS FROM WINDOWS GUESTS
       For Windows guests, you should remove VMware tools before conversion.  Although this is not strictly
       necessary, and the guest will still be able to run, if you don't do this then the converted guest will
       complain on every boot.  The tools cannot be removed after conversion because the uninstaller checks if
       it is running on VMware and refuses to start (which is also the reason that virt-v2v cannot remove them).

       This is not necessary for Linux guests, as virt-v2v is able to remove VMware tools.

   VCENTER: URI
       The libvirt URI of a vCenter server looks something like this:

        vpx://user@server/Datacenter/esxi

       where:

       "user@"
           is the (optional, but recommended) user to connect as.

           If the username contains a backslash (eg. "DOMAIN\USER") then you will need to URI-escape that
           character using %5c: "DOMAIN%5cUSER" (5c is the hexadecimal ASCII code for backslash.)  Other
           punctuation may also have to be escaped.

       "server"
           is the vCenter Server (not hypervisor).

       "Datacenter"
           is the name of the datacenter.

           If the name contains a space, replace it with the URI-escape code %20.

       "esxi"
           is the name of the ESXi hypervisor running the guest.

       If the VMware deployment is using folders, then these may need to be added to the URI, eg:

        vpx://user@server/Folder/Datacenter/esxi

       For full details of libvirt URIs, see: http://libvirt.org/drvesx.html

       Typical errors from libvirt / virsh when the URI is wrong include:

       •   Could not find datacenter specified in [...]

       •   Could not find compute resource specified in [...]

       •   Path [...] does not specify a compute resource

       •   Path [...] does not specify a host system

       •   Could not find host system specified in [...]

   VCENTER: TEST LIBVIRT CONNECTION TO VCENTER
       Use the virsh(1) command to list the guests on the vCenter Server like this:

        $ virsh -c 'vpx://root@vcenter.example.com/Datacenter/esxi' list --all
        Enter root's password for vcenter.example.com: ***

         Id    Name                           State
        ----------------------------------------------------
         -     Fedora 20                      shut off
         -     Windows 2003                   shut off

       If you get an error "Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates" or similar,
       then you can either import the vCenter host's certificate, or bypass signature verification by adding the
       "?no_verify=1" flag:

        $ virsh -c 'vpx://root@vcenter.example.com/Datacenter/esxi?no_verify=1' list --all

       You should also try dumping the metadata from any guest on your server, like this:

        $ virsh -c 'vpx://root@vcenter.example.com/Datacenter/esxi' dumpxml "Windows 2003"
        <domain type='vmware'>
          <name>Windows 2003</name>
          [...]
        </domain>

       If the above commands do not work, then virt-v2v is not going to work either.  Fix your libvirt
       configuration and/or your VMware vCenter Server before continuing.

   VCENTER: IMPORTING A GUEST
       To import a particular guest from vCenter Server, do:

        $ virt-v2v -ic 'vpx://root@vcenter.example.com/Datacenter/esxi?no_verify=1' \
          "Windows 2003" \
          -o local -os /var/tmp

       where "Windows 2003" is the name of the guest (which must be shut down).

       Note that you may be asked for the vCenter password twice.  This happens once because libvirt needs it,
       and a second time because virt-v2v itself connects directly to the server.  Use --password-file to supply
       a password via a file.

       In this case the output flags are set to write the converted guest to a temporary directory as this is
       just an example, but you can also write to libvirt or any other supported target.

   VCENTER: NON-ADMINISTRATOR ROLE
       Instead of using the vCenter Administrator role, you can create a custom non-administrator role to
       perform the conversion.  You will however need to give it a minimum set of permissions as follows:

       1.  Create a custom role in vCenter.

       2.  Enable (check) the following objects:

            Datastore:
             - Browse datastore
             - Low level file operations

            Session:
             - Validate session

            Virtual Machine:
              Provisioning:
                - Allow disk access
                - Allow read-only disk access
                - Guest Operating system management by VIX API

INPUT FROM VMWARE OVA

       Virt-v2v is able to import guests from VMware's OVA (Open Virtualization Appliance) files.  Only OVAs
       exported from VMware vSphere will work.

   OVA: REMOVE VMWARE TOOLS FROM WINDOWS GUESTS
       For Windows guests, you should remove VMware tools before conversion.  Although this is not strictly
       necessary, and the guest will still be able to run, if you don't do this then the converted guest will
       complain on every boot.  The tools cannot be removed after conversion because the uninstaller checks if
       it is running on VMware and refuses to start (which is also the reason that virt-v2v cannot remove them).

       This is not necessary for Linux guests, as virt-v2v is able to remove VMware tools.

   OVA: CREATE OVA
       To create an OVA in vSphere, use the "Export OVF Template" option (from the VM context menu, or from the
       File menu).  Either "Folder of files" (OVF) or "Single file" (OVA) will work, but OVA is probably easier
       to deal with.  OVA files are really just uncompressed tar files, so you can use commands like "tar tf
       VM.ova" to view their contents.

       Create OVA with ovftool

       You can also use VMware's proprietary "ovftool":

        ovftool --noSSLVerify \
          vi://USER:PASSWORD@esxi.example.com/VM \
          VM.ova

       To connect to vCenter:

        ovftool  --noSSLVerify \
          vi://USER:PASSWORD@vcenter.example.com/DATACENTER-NAME/vm/VM \
          VM.ova

       For Active Directory-aware authentication, you have to express the "@" character in the form of its ascii
       hex-code (%5c):

        vi://DOMAIN%5cUSER:PASSWORD@...

   OVA: IMPORTING A GUEST
       To import an OVA file called VM.ova, do;

        $ virt-v2v -i ova VM.ova -o local -os /var/tmp

       If you exported the guest as a "Folder of files", or if you unpacked the OVA tarball yourself, then you
       can point virt-v2v at the directory containing the files:

        $ virt-v2v -i ova /path/to/files -o local -os /var/tmp

INPUT FROM VMWARE ESXi HYPERVISOR

       Virt-v2v cannot access an ESXi hypervisor directly.  You should use the OVA method above (see "INPUT FROM
       VMWARE OVA") if possible, as it is much faster and requires much less disk space than the method
       described in this section.

       You can use the virt-v2v-copy-to-local(1) tool to copy the guest off the hypervisor into a local file,
       and then convert it.

   ESXi: REMOVE VMWARE TOOLS FROM WINDOWS GUESTS
       For Windows guests, you should remove VMware tools before conversion.  Although this is not strictly
       necessary, and the guest will still be able to run, if you don't do this then the converted guest will
       complain on every boot.  The tools cannot be removed after conversion because the uninstaller checks if
       it is running on VMware and refuses to start (which is also the reason that virt-v2v cannot remove them).

       This is not necessary for Linux guests, as virt-v2v is able to remove VMware tools.

   ESXi: URI
       The libvirt URI for VMware ESXi hypervisors will look something like this:

        esx://root@esxi.example.com?no_verify=1

       The "?no_verify=1" parameter disables TLS certificate checking.

   ESXi: TEST LIBVIRT CONNECTION TO ESXi HYPERVISOR
       Use the virsh(1) command to test the URI and list the remote guests available:

        $ virsh -c esx://root@esxi.example.com?no_verify=1 list --all
        Enter root's password for esxi.example.com: ***
         Id    Name                           State
        ----------------------------------------------------
         -     guest                          shut off

   ESXi: COPY THE GUEST TO THE LOCAL MACHINE
       Using the libvirt URI as the -ic option, copy one of the guests to the local machine:

        $ virt-v2v-copy-to-local -ic esx://root@esxi.example.com?no_verify=1 guest

       This creates guest.xml, guest-disk1, ...

   ESXi: DO THE VIRT-V2V CONVERSION
       Perform the conversion of the guest using virt-v2v:

        $ virt-v2v -i libvirtxml guest.xml -o local -os /var/tmp

   ESXi: CLEAN UP
       Remove the guest.xml and guest-disk* files.

INPUT FROM RHEL 5 XEN

       Virt-v2v is able to import Xen guests from RHEL 5 Xen hosts.

       Virt-v2v uses libvirt for access to the remote Xen host, and therefore the input mode should be -i
       libvirt.  As this is the default, you don't need to specify it on the command line.

   XEN: SET UP SSH-AGENT ACCESS TO XEN HOST
       Currently you must enable passwordless SSH access to the remote Xen host from the virt-v2v conversion
       server.

       You must also use ssh-agent, and add your ssh public key to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys (on the Xen host).

       After doing this, you should check that passwordless access works from the virt-v2v server to the Xen
       host.  For example:

        $ ssh root@xen.example.com
        [ logs straight into the shell, no password is requested ]

       Note that password-interactive and Kerberos access are not supported.  You have to set up ssh access
       using ssh-agent and authorized_keys.

   XEN: TEST LIBVIRT CONNECTION TO REMOTE XEN HOST
       Use the virsh(1) command to list the guests on the remote Xen host:

        $ virsh -c xen+ssh://root@xen.example.com list --all
         Id    Name                           State
        ----------------------------------------------------
         0     Domain-0                       running
         -     rhel49-x86_64-pv               shut off

       You should also try dumping the metadata from any guest on your server, like this:

        $ virsh -c xen+ssh://root@xen.example.com dumpxml rhel49-x86_64-pv
        <domain type='xen'>
          <name>rhel49-x86_64-pv</name>
          [...]
        </domain>

       If the above commands do not work, then virt-v2v is not going to work either.  Fix your libvirt
       configuration or the remote server before continuing.

       If the guest disks are located on a host block device, then the conversion will fail.  See "XEN OR SSH
       CONVERSIONS FROM BLOCK DEVICES" below for a workaround.

   XEN: IMPORTING A GUEST
       To import a particular guest from a Xen server, do:

        $ virt-v2v -ic 'xen+ssh://root@xen.example.com' \
          rhel49-x86_64-pv \
          -o local -os /var/tmp

       where "rhel49-x86_64-pv" is the name of the guest (which must be shut down).

       In this case the output flags are set to write the converted guest to a temporary directory as this is
       just an example, but you can also write to libvirt or any other supported target.

   XEN OR SSH CONVERSIONS FROM BLOCK DEVICES
       Currently virt-v2v cannot directly access a Xen guest (or any guest located remotely over ssh) if that
       guest's disks are located on host block devices.

       To tell if a Xen guest uses host block devices, look at the guest XML.  You will see:

         <disk type='block' device='disk'>
           ...
           <source dev='/dev/VG/guest'/>

       where "type='block'", "source dev=" and "/dev/..." are all indications that the disk is located on a host
       block device.

       This happens because the qemu ssh block driver that we use to access remote disks uses the ssh sftp
       protocol, and this protocol cannot correctly detect the size of host block devices.

       The workaround is to copy the guest over to the conversion server, using the separate
       virt-v2v-copy-to-local(1) tool, followed by running virt-v2v.  You will need sufficient space on the
       conversion server to store a full copy of the guest.

        virt-v2v-copy-to-local -ic xen+ssh://root@xen.example.com guest
        virt-v2v -i libvirtxml guest.xml -o local -os /var/tmp
        rm guest.xml guest-disk*

OUTPUT TO LIBVIRT

       The -o libvirt option lets you upload the converted guest to a libvirt-managed host.  There are several
       limitations:

       •   You can only use a local libvirt connection [see below for how to workaround this].

       •   The -os pool option must specify a directory pool, not anything more exotic such as iSCSI [but see
           below].

       •   You can only upload to a KVM hypervisor.

       To output to a remote libvirt instance and/or a non-directory storage pool you have to use the following
       workaround:

       1.  Use virt-v2v in -o local mode to convert the guest disks and metadata into a local temporary
           directory:

            virt-v2v [...] -o local -os /var/tmp

           This creates two (or more) files in /var/tmp called:

            /var/tmp/NAME.xml     # the libvirt XML (metadata)
            /var/tmp/NAME-sda     # the guest's first disk

           (for "NAME" substitute the guest's name).

       2.  Upload the converted disk(s) into the storage pool called "POOL":

            size=$(stat -c%s /var/tmp/NAME-sda)
            virsh vol-create-as POOL NAME-sda $size --format raw
            virsh vol-upload --pool POOL NAME-sda /var/tmp/NAME-sda

       3.  Edit /var/tmp/NAME.xml to change /var/tmp/NAME-sda to the pool name.  In other words, locate the
           following bit of XML:

            <disk type='file' device='disk'>
              <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' />
              <source file='/var/tmp/NAME-sda' />
              <target dev='hda' bus='ide' />
            </disk>

           and change two things: The "type='file'" attribute must be changed to "type='volume'", and the
           "<source>" element must be changed to include "pool" and "volume" attributes:

            <disk type='volume' device='disk'>
              ...
              <source pool='POOL' volume='NAME-sda' />
              ...
            </disk>

       4.  Define the final guest in libvirt:

            virsh define /var/tmp/NAME.xml

OUTPUT TO RHEV

       This section only applies to the -o rhev output mode.  If you use virt-v2v from the RHEV-M user
       interface, then behind the scenes the import is managed by VDSM using the -o vdsm output mode (which end
       users should not try to use directly).

       You have to specify -o rhev and an -os option that points to the RHEV-M Export Storage Domain.  You can
       either specify the NFS server and mountpoint, eg. "-os rhev-storage:/rhev/export", or you can mount that
       first and point to the directory where it is mounted, eg. "-os /tmp/mnt".  Be careful not to point to the
       Data Storage Domain by accident as that will not work.

       On successful completion virt-v2v will have written the new guest to the Export Storage Domain, but it
       will not yet be ready to run.  It must be imported into RHEV using the UI before it can be used.

       In RHEV ≥ 2.2 this is done from the Storage tab.  Select the export domain the guest was written to.  A
       pane will appear underneath the storage domain list displaying several tabs, one of which is "VM Import".
       The converted guest will be listed here.  Select the appropriate guest an click "Import".  See the RHEV
       documentation for additional details.

       If you export several guests, then you can import them all at the same time through the UI.

RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS

   Network
       The most important resource for virt-v2v appears to be network bandwidth.  Virt-v2v should be able to
       copy guest data at gigabit ethernet speeds or greater.

       Ensure that the network connections between servers (conversion server, NFS server, vCenter, Xen) are as
       fast and as low latency as possible.

   Disk space
       Virt-v2v places potentially large temporary files in $TMPDIR (which is /var/tmp if you don't set it).
       Using tmpfs is a bad idea.

       For each guest disk, an overlay is stored temporarily.  This stores the changes made during conversion,
       and is used as a cache.  The overlays are not particularly large - tens or low hundreds of megabytes per
       disk is typical.  In addition to the overlay(s), input and output methods may use disk space, as outlined
       in the table below.

       -i ova
           This temporarily places a full copy of the uncompressed source disks in $TMPDIR.

       -o glance
           This temporarily places a full copy of the output disks in $TMPDIR.

       -o local
       -o qemu
           You must ensure there is sufficient space in the output directory for the converted guest.

       -o null
           This temporarily places a full copy of the output disks in $TMPDIR.

   VMware vCenter resources
       Copying from VMware vCenter is currently quite slow, but we believe this to be an issue with VMware.
       Ensuring the VMware ESXi hypervisor and vCenter are running on fast hardware with plenty of memory should
       alleviate this.

   Compute power and RAM
       Virt-v2v is not especially compute or RAM intensive.  If you are running many parallel conversions, then
       you may consider allocating one CPU core and between 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM per running instance.

       Virt-v2v can be run in a virtual machine.

POST-CONVERSION TASKS

   Guest network configuration
       Virt-v2v cannot currently reconfigure a guest's network configuration.  If the converted guest is not
       connected to the same subnet as the source, its network configuration may have to be updated.  See also
       virt-customize(1).

   Converting a Windows guest
       When converting a Windows guests, the conversion process is split into two stages:

       1.  Offline conversion.

       2.  First boot.

       The guest will be bootable after the offline conversion stage, but will not yet have all necessary
       drivers installed to work correctly.  These will be installed automatically the first time the guest
       boots.

       N.B. Take care not to interrupt the automatic driver installation process when logging in to the guest
       for the first time, as this may prevent the guest from subsequently booting correctly.

FREE SPACE FOR CONVERSION

       Virt-v2v checks there is sufficient free space in the guest filesystem to perform the conversion.
       Currently it checks:

       Linux root filesystem or Windows "C:" drive
           Minimum free space: 20 MB

       Linux /boot
           Minimum free space: 50 MB

           This is because we need to build a new initramfs for some Enterprise Linux conversions.

       Any other mountable filesystem
           Minimum free space: 10 MB

RUNNING VIRT-V2V AS ROOT OR NON-ROOT

       Nothing in virt-v2v inherently needs root access, and it will run just fine as a non-root user.  However,
       certain external features may require either root or a special user:

       Mounting the Export Storage Domain
           When using -o rhev -os server:/esd virt-v2v has to have sufficient privileges to NFS mount the Export
           Storage Domain from "server".

           You can avoid needing root here by mounting it yourself before running virt-v2v, and passing -os
           /mountpoint instead, but first of all read the next section ...

       Writing to the Export Storage Domain as 36:36
           RHEV-M cannot read files and directories from the Export Storage Domain unless they have UID:GID
           36:36.  You will see VM import problems if the UID:GID is not correct.

           When you run virt-v2v -o rhev as root, virt-v2v attempts to create files and directories with the
           correct ownership.  If you run virt-v2v as non-root, it will probably still work, but you will need
           to manually change ownership after virt-v2v has finished.

       Writing to libvirt
           When using -o libvirt, you may need to run virt-v2v as root so that it can write to the libvirt
           system instance (ie. "qemu:///system") and to the default location for disk images (usually
           /var/lib/libvirt/images).

           You can avoid this by setting up libvirt connection authentication, see http://libvirt.org/auth.html.
           Alternatively, use -oc qemu:///session, which will write to your per-user libvirt instance.

       Writing to Glance
           This does not need root (in fact it probably won't work), but may require either a special user
           and/or for you to source a script that sets authentication environment variables.  Consult the Glance
           documentation.

DEBUGGING RHEV-M IMPORT FAILURES

       When you export to the RHEV-M Export Storage Domain, and then import that guest through the RHEV-M UI,
       you may encounter an import failure.  Diagnosing these failures is infuriatingly difficult as the UI
       generally hides the true reason for the failure.

       There are two log files of interest.  The first is stored on the RHEV-M server itself, and is called
       /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log

       The second file, which is the most useful, is found on the SPM host (SPM stands for "Storage Pool
       Manager").  This is a RHEV node that is elected to do all metadata modifications in the data center, such
       as image or snapshot creation.  You can find out which host is the current SPM from the "Hosts" tab "Spm
       Status" column.  Once you have located the SPM, log into it and grab the file /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log
       which will contain detailed error messages from low-level commands.

MINIMAL XML FOR -i libvirtxml OPTION

       When using the -i libvirtxml option, you have to supply some libvirt XML.  Writing this from scratch is
       hard, so the template below is helpful.

       Note this should only be used for testing and/or where you know what you're doing!  If you have libvirt
       metadata for the guest, always use that instead.

        <domain type='kvm'>
          <name>NAME</name>
          <memory>1048576</memory>
          <vcpu>2</vcpu>
          <os>
            <type>hvm</type>
            <boot dev='hd'/>
          </os>
          <features>
            <acpi/>
            <apic/>
            <pae/>
          </features>
          <devices>
            <disk type='file' device='disk'>
              <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>
              <source file='/path/to/disk/image'/>
              <target dev='hda' bus='ide'/>
            </disk>
            <interface type='network'>
              <mac address='52:54:00:01:02:03'/>
              <source network='default'/>
              <model type='rtl8139'/>
            </interface>
          </devices>
        </domain>

MACHINE READABLE OUTPUT

       The --machine-readable option can be used to make the output more machine friendly, which is useful when
       calling virt-v2v from other programs, GUIs etc.

       There are two ways to use this option.

       Firstly use the option on its own to query the capabilities of the virt-v2v binary.  Typical output looks
       like this:

        $ virt-v2v --machine-readable
        virt-v2v
        libguestfs-rewrite
        input:disk
        [...]
        output:local
        [...]
        convert:enterprise-linux
        convert:windows

       A list of features is printed, one per line, and the program exits with status 0.

       The "input:" and "output:" features refer to -i and -o (input and output mode) options supported by this
       binary.  The "convert:" features refer to guest types that this binary knows how to convert.

       Secondly use the option in conjunction with other options to make the regular program output more machine
       friendly.

       At the moment this means:

       1.  Progress bar messages can be parsed from stdout by looking for this regular expression:

            ^[0-9]+/[0-9]+$

       2.  The calling program should treat messages sent to stdout (except for progress bar messages) as status
           messages.  They can be logged and/or displayed to the user.

       3.  The calling program should treat messages sent to stderr as error messages.  In addition, virt-v2v
           exits with a non-zero status code if there was a fatal error.

       Virt-v2v ≤ 0.9.1 did not support the --machine-readable option at all.  The option was added when
       virt-v2v was rewritten in 2014.

FILES

       /usr/share/virtio-win
           (Optional)

           If this directory is present, then virtio drivers for Windows guests will be found from this
           directory and installed in the guest during conversion.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       "TMPDIR"
           Location of the temporary directory used for the potentially large temporary overlay file.

           See the "Disk space" section above.

       "VIRT_TOOLS_DATA_DIR"
           This can point to the directory containing data files used for Windows conversion.

           Normally you do not need to set this.  If not set, a compiled-in default will be used (something like
           /usr/share/virt-tools).

           This directory may contain the following files:

           rhsrvany.exe
               (Required when doing conversions of Windows guests)

               This is the RHSrvAny Windows binary, used to install a "firstboot" script in the guest during
               conversion of Windows guests.

               See also: "https://github.com/rwmjones/rhsrvany"

           rhev-apt.exe
               (Optional)

               The RHEV Application Provisioning Tool (RHEV APT).  If this file is present, then RHEV APT will
               be installed in the Windows guest during conversion.  This tool is a guest agent which ensures
               that the virtio drivers remain up to date when the guest is running on Red Hat Enterprise
               Virtualization (RHEV).

               This file comes from Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV), and is not distributed with
               virt-v2v.

       "VIRTIO_WIN"
           This is where VirtIO drivers for Windows are searched for (/usr/share/virtio-win if unset).  It can
           be a directory or point to virtio-win.iso (CD ROM image containing drivers).

           See "ENABLING VIRTIO".

       For other environment variables, see "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" in guestfs(3).

OTHER TOOLS

       virt-v2v-copy-to-local(1)
           There are some special cases where virt-v2v cannot directly access the remote hypervisor.  In that
           case you have to use virt-v2v-copy-to-local(1) to make a local copy of the guest first, followed by
           running "virt-v2v -i libvirtxml" to perform the conversion.

       engine-image-uploader(8)
           Variously called "engine-image-uploader", "ovirt-image-uploader" or "rhevm-image-uploader", this tool
           allows you to copy a guest from one oVirt or RHEV Export Storage Domain to another.  It only permits
           importing a guest that was previously exported from another oVirt/RHEV instance.

       import-to-ovirt.pl
           This script can be used to import guests that already run on KVM to oVirt or RHEV.  For more
           information, see this blog posting by the author of virt-v2v:
