Description Matthew Booth 2010-05-26 09:23:11 UTC

Description of problem:
If a conversion fails, the transferred images are not cleaned up. While this is a feature when converting to a libvirt target, RHEV does not provide an interface to manage these images. The only way to remove them is manually.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-v2v-0.6.0-1.el5

Comment 2 Matthew Booth 2010-06-08 15:41:14 UTC

A conversion can fail for many reasons. The most likely are that the user killed the conversion with Ctrl-C, or the conversion was unable to complete for some reason.

There are 2 good tests for this. In both cases, start with an empty export storage domain: the images/ and master/vms/ should be empty.

1. Start a conversion. Before it completes, kill it with a Ctrl-C to the terminal running the conversion.
2. Attempt to convert a Xen PV guest which isn't registered to RHN on a host with no files in /var/lib/virt-v2v/software. This will fail because there is no FV kernel available.

In both cases, the export storage domain should still be empty after the test.

Comment 7 Mohua Li 2010-07-16 09:35:30 UTC

test on 

libguestfs-1.2.7-1.el5.6
virt-v2v-0.6.1-1.el5



1), quit the convert when transferring the image, umount successfully,no orphaned image left,pass
2), quit the convert during conversion, umount successfully,no orphaned image left,pass
3), check the mount after convert finished successfully,umount successfully, no orphaned image left,pass

so set the status to verified,
