Comment 3 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-03-03 12:13:55 UTC

We copy the following files into the guest:

Copying virtio driver bits: 'host:/usr/share/virtio-win/./drivers/amd64/Win2008R2/qxl.cat' -> '/Windows/Drivers/VirtIO/qxl.cat'
Copying virtio driver bits: 'host:/usr/share/virtio-win/./drivers/amd64/Win2008R2/qxl.inf' -> '/Windows/Drivers/VirtIO/qxl.inf'
Copying virtio driver bits: 'host:/usr/share/virtio-win/./drivers/amd64/Win2008R2/qxl.sys' -> '/Windows/Drivers/VirtIO/qxl.sys'

Vadim: There's another file called 'qxldd.dll'.  Do we need
to copy that file too?  Any idea what file Windows might be
missing (see screenshot comment 0)?

Yes, we do.
The XDDM-style (targeted to be installed on WinXP..WS2008R2/Win7 platforms) qxl driver comes in two parts - qxl.sys (mini-port driver) and qxldd.dll (display driver) both of them have to be installed (copied to the %sysroot%/Windows/system32/drivers/ sub-directory).

Best regards,
Vadim.

Hi Rich,
You are right about WdfCoInstaller*.dll Technically, we shouldn't copy this dll
manually. However, it is absolutely harmful if we do this.

Best regards,
Vadim.

Comment 7 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-03-04 10:27:02 UTC

v2 of this patch series does not copy the WdfCoInstaller*.dll files:

Comment 8 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-03-04 12:05:40 UTC

v3 reverts to copying WdfCoInstaller*.dll files.

Comment 9 Mike McCune 2016-03-28 23:28:22 UTC

This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions

Comment 11 Richard W.M. Jones 2016-06-21 08:04:10 UTC

I believe that the following patch should fix this:

  commit 4c24531d907d888d20498bbac8bd4a4aef424e49
  Author: Roman Kagan <**>
  Date:   Fri Jun 3 18:14:17 2016 +0300

    v2v: copy all driver files into guest
    
    Some virtio-win drivers contain more files than just *.{cat,inf,sys}.
    They are filtered out currently, which prevents the drivers from being
    installed by PnP.
    
    Stop filtering driver files by extension, and copy all of them instead.

I'll include it in the next build.

Comment 13 mxie@redhat.com 2016-06-27 11:27:33 UTC

I can reproduce the bug on build:
virt-v2v-1.32.2-6.el7.x86_64

Try to verify the bug with builds
virt-v2v-1.32.5-6.el7.x86_64
libguestfs-1.32.5-6.el7.x86_64

Steps:
1.Use virt-v2v to convert win2008r2 or win7 guest to rhev
1.1 # virt-v2v -ic vpx://root.145.47/data/10.66.4.153/?no_verify=1 esx5.1-win2008r2-x86_64 -o rhev -os 10.73.72.63:/home/nfs_export -on win2008r2-mxie -of raw --password-file /tmp/passwd
1.2 # virt-v2v -ic vpx://root.145.47/data/10.66.4.153/?no_verify=1 esx5.1-win7-x86_64 -o rhev -os 10.73.72.63:/home/nfs_export -on win7-mxie -of raw --password-file /tmp/passwd

2.After conversion,boot the guest on rhev
3.Check "Display adapters" in device manager, the qxl driver has been installed for win2008r2 or win7 guest

Result now:
According to step3, the bug has been fixed

So move the bug from ON_QA to VERIFIED
