Description of problem: When an OVF doesn't specify a Name under the VirtualSystem section, import will fail: Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/Sys/Virt/Domain.pm line 51. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 20 / virt-v2v 0.9.0 How reproducible: Import an OVA / OVF without a <Name> element under <VirtualSystem>. Actual results: Import fails. Expected results: Import succeeds using mandatory ovf:id as name. Additional info: OVF (http://www.dmtf.org/sites/default/files/standards/documents/DSP0243_1.0.0.pdf) defines only the ovf:id as mandatory identification attribute. If no Name is specified, we should use that to fall back on: $meta{name} = _node_val($root, '/Envelope/VirtualSystem/Name/text()') || _node_attr($root,'/Envelope/VirtualSystem','ovf:id') ; ==== sub _node_attr { my ($root, $xpath, $att) = @_; my ($node) = $root->findnodes($xpath); return defined($node) ? $node->getAttribute($att) : undef; }
Hi, thanks for the bug report. Unfortunately it is filed against a very old version of virt-v2v (0.9) which we don't support at all. Luckily there is a newer version which almost certainly fixes your bug already. It's available starting in Fedora 21. If you still experience this bug, please try with the new version, and reopen if it still happens.
