As this is cosmetic, I'm going to cond NACK (capacity) and defer to a later RHEL release. Since this involves more risky edits to the grub configuration of the guest, I'm not going to do this. There's too much risk that removing bits from the grub config will break the guest or cause conversion failures. virt-v2v should (and currently does) select the correct non-Xen kernel as default, so the guest will boot after conversion without interaction [if that was not the case, it would be a bug]. If users manually select alternate Xen kernels and try to boot with them, then that's just too bad. |
Description xen kernel should be removed from boot menu after conversion by virt-v2v Version: libguestfs-1.27.52-1.1.el7.x86_64 virt-v2v-1.27.52-1.1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: 50% Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use virt-v2v to convert a xen pv guest. # virt-v2v -ic xen+ssh://10.66.106.64 -os default pv-rhel58-nolvm [ 0.0] Opening the source -i libvirt -ic xen+ssh://10.66.106.64 pv-rhel58-nolvm [ 16.0] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified [ 30.0] Opening the overlay [ 52.0] Initializing the target -o libvirt -os default [ 52.0] Inspecting the overlay [ 76.0] Checking for sufficient free disk space in the guest [ 76.0] Estimating space required on target for each disk [ 76.0] Converting Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga) to run on KVM This guest has virtio drivers installed. [ 90.0] Mapping filesystem data to avoid copying unused and blank areas [ 91.0] Closing the overlay [ 91.0] Copying disk 1/1 to /var/lib/libvirt/images/pv-rhel58-nolvm-sda (raw) (100.00/100%) [ 216.0] Creating output metadata Pool default refreshed Domain pv-rhel58-nolvm defined from /tmp/v2vlibvirtfa2d3e.xml 2.After conversion,boot the guest. # virsh start pv-rhel58-nolvm 3.After boot the guest,check the boot menu,there are still 2 kernel:both regular kernel and xen kernel. Actual results： As description. Expected results: xen kernel should be removed from boot menu after conversion by virt-v2v Additional info: If try to boot xen kernel,it will fail with error.
