Description Shahar Havivi 2014-09-10 11:42:36 UTC 
Exporting to RHEV data domain (similar to export domain),
Expected something like:

v2v ... -o rhev -os rhev.nfs:/data_domain --rhev-image-uuid <GUID> --rhev-vol-uuid <GUID> --rhev-vm-uuid <GUID>

Unlike export domain, data domain is not needed to create the volume structure since the caller (RHEVM) will be responsible for that.
Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-09-10 13:00:14 UTC 
Not quite sure I understand the bug.  Is there something virt-v2v
should be doing which it doesn't do already?
Comment 2 Shahar Havivi 2014-09-10 13:53:38 UTC 
Its a general RFE bug,
Two main issues that v2v need to address:
1. not create any dir on data domain (in export domain it does create the directory structure) - maybe a new flag to indicate export/domain...
2. add estimated size to each disk when calling v2v with --no-copy
Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-09-11 19:06:47 UTC 
Just a note that in 1.27.43, there is a new -o vdsm mode, and
all the --rhev* flags have been renamed to --vdsm* (but otherwise
are unchanged).

This is a development release so we're allowed to make significant
changes to unreleased code like this.
Comment 4 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-09-14 14:11:54 UTC 
In 1.27.45, the ovf:actual_size field is an estimate when --no-copy
is used.

I think --ovirt* would make more sense?
Comment 6 Richard W.M. Jones 2014-09-21 12:28:38 UTC 
Pretty sure --vdsm* makes more sense, since these flags are only
used when under the control of VDSM.
