Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1354507
virt-v2v conversions from vCenter do not consistently obey the proxy environment variables
Last modified: 2017-08-02 04:13:54 EDT
Description of problem: If you set https_proxy=... and do a virt-v2v conversion, you will find that virt-v2v makes several connections to the server: (1) Initial connection to port 5480 (via libvirt) does not use the proxy. (2) When copying the disks, the proxy is used. virt-v2v should be more consistent in how the proxy is handled, either ignoring https_proxy all the time or using https_proxy all the time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v 1.33.42 (upstream) virt-v2v 1.32.5-10.el7 is also affected How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set https_proxy environment variable to point to a proxy server. 2. Run tcpdump -w /tmp/dump & 3. Run virt-v2v -ic vpx:///.. to do a conversion from vCenter 4. Kill tcpdump. Actual results: Observe in the tcpdump log that connections are made both directly to the vCenter server and via the proxy. Expected results: One of the other, not both.

I can reproduce the problem with builds: virt-v2v-1.32.7-3.el7_3.2.x86_64 libguestfs-1.32.7-3.el7_3.2.x86_64 Reproduce steps: 1.Set https_proxy environment variable to point to a proxy server on virt-v2v conversion server #export http_proxy=http://xx.redhat.com:xxxx #export https_proxy=http://xx.redhat.com:xxxx 2.Convert a guest from vmware to rhv by virt-v2v # virt-v2v -ic vpx://root@10.73.75.182/data/10.73.72.61/?no_verify=1 esx6.0-win2012-x86_64 -o rhev -os 10.73.131.93:/home/nfs_export -b ovirtmgmt -n ovirtmgmt --password-file /tmp/passwd [ 0.0] Opening the source -i libvirt -ic vpx://root@10.73.75.182/data/10.73.72.61/?no_verify=1 esx6.0-win2012-x86_64 [ 5.7] Creating an overlay to protect the source from being modified [ 6.8] Initializing the target -o rhev -os 10.73.131.93:/home/nfs_export [ 7.0] Opening the overlay [ 41.0] Inspecting the overlay [ 601.9] Checking for sufficient free disk space in the guest [ 601.9] Estimating space required on target for each disk [ 601.9] Converting Windows Server 2012 Standard to run on KVM virt-v2v: warning: there is no QXL driver for this version of Windows (6.2 x86_64). virt-v2v looks for this driver in /usr/share/virtio-win The guest will be configured to use a basic VGA display driver. virt-v2v: This guest has virtio drivers installed.
