Description Ilanit Stein 2021-10-28 06:52:41 UTC

Description of problem:
MTV is missing qemu guest agent install, in case it is not already installed on the source VM.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
All MTV version released so far (MTV-2.0->MTV-2.2)

Comment 1 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-10-29 20:34:18 UTC

Ilanit, either this bug needs to be changed to virt-v2v, or we will
need another bug for virt-v2v to fix this.  (This is assuming we
do the easiest thing which is "yum install qemu-guest-agent" which
I think we should).

Comment 2 Fabien Dupont 2021-11-02 10:17:07 UTC

We currently install the package in the container image, but it doesn't really make sense, because this will only put the package files in the container image, without the .rpm file.
Instead, should we use "yum download qemu-guest-agent" and put the .rpm file in a specific location?

Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2021-11-02 10:25:37 UTC

At the moment virt-v2v looks for any RPMs in the virtio-win ISO under
/linux/el<N> (eg /linux/el8 for RHEL 8 guest) and installs those.  So
if you don't want to change virt-v2v, you need to arrange to put RPMs there.
However that was apparently difficult.

So what I'm suggesting instead is that we change virt-v2v so it does
yum install qemu-guest-agent as part of the conversion process (or
maybe as a firstboot step).  We'll need a BZ assigned to RHEL / virt-v2v
in order to do this.

Thanks Rich. I've opened https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2028764 to track this in RHEL / virt-v2v.

Comment 5 Arik 2023-01-02 12:34:49 UTC

I see the fix was merged to virt-v2v on el9 so I assume the issue still exists in MTV
We intend to upgrade the forklift-virt-v2v container to el9 in 2.4
