Description mxie@redhat.com 2021-03-01 04:42:19 UTC

Description of problem:
Should prepare python-ovirt-engine-sdk4 package on rhel9

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-1.43.3-2.el9.x86_64
libguestfs-1.44.0-5.el9.x86_64
libvirt-7.0.0-4.el9.x86_64
qemu-kvm-5.2.0-7.el9.x86_64
nbdkit-1.25.2-1.el9.x86_64
kernel-5.11.0-1.el9.x86_64


How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.There is no python-ovirt-engine-sdk4 available on rhel9 so that virt-v2v can't convert guest using rhv-upload

# virt-v2v -ic vpx://root.73.141/data/10.73.75.219/?no_verify=1 -it vddk -io vddk-libdir=/root/vmware-vix-disklib-distrib -io vddk-thumbprint=1F:97:34:5F:B6:C2:BA:66:46:CB:1A:71:76:7D:6B:50:1E:03:00:EA esx6.7-rhel8.2-x86_64 -o rhv-upload -of raw -os nfs_data -oc https://hp-dl360eg8-03.lab.eng.pek2.redhat.com/ovirt-engine/api  -ip /home/passwd  -op /home/rhvpasswd  -oo rhv-cluster=NFS
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'ovirtsdk4'
virt-v2v: error: the Python module ‘ovirtsdk4’ could not be loaded, is 
it installed?  See previous messages for problems.

If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the 
complete output:

  virt-v2v -v -x [...]



Actual results:
If there is no python-ovirt-engine-sdk4 package on rhel9, virt-v2v can't convert guest using rhv-upload

Expected results:
Should prepare python-ovirt-engine-sdk4 package on rhel9

Comment 5 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-03-01 11:01:51 UTC

Just want to make the point that we only need the client side of the
RHV API in Python (only, not Java).  The client will be running on
RHEL 9, but talking to a RHV instance which is running on whatever the
supported RHV platform is.

Comment 8 Martin Perina 2021-05-24 20:19:18 UTC

Moving to 4.4.8 due to capacity reasons

Comment 10 Marina Kalinin 2021-09-30 21:10:14 UTC

Do we need some sort of deprecation note about only python sdk in rhel9? or maybe just a KCS and a release note, saying only python will be supported in RHEL9?

The problem is that Python (or any language) client *isn't* supported
so far on RHEL 9 and that's what we need for virt-v2v to work.

Comment 12 Martin Perina 2021-10-15 07:57:35 UTC

We cannot release RHEL 9 content before RHEL 9 GA, so moving to 4.5
