This describes the major changes since 2.2. .PP Virt\-v2v 2.4.0 was released on \fB5\ January\ 2024\fR. .SS "New features" .IX Subsection "New features" New \fI\-\-block\-driver\fR option which can be used to choose to install either virtio-blk or virtio-scsi drivers (Andrey Drobyshev). .PP The virt\-v2v \fI\-\-key\fR option now recognizes LVM names like \&\fI/dev/mapper/rhel_bootp\-\-73\-\-75\-\-123\-root\fR (Laszlo Ersek). .PP The \fI\-\-key\fR option also supports a new \fI\-\-key\ all:...\fR selector to try the same key on all devices. .SS "Feature removed" .IX Subsection "Feature removed" Support for RHEL 3 conversions has been removed. .SS "Other fixes" .IX Subsection "Other fixes" Conversions now set the \f(CW\*(C`host\-model\*(C'\fR CPU in the output metadata, except where the source hypervisor overrides this. The exception is \&\fI\-o qemu\fR mode which uses \fI\-cpu host\fR. (Thanks Ming Xie, Laszlo Ersek, Dr. David Alan Gilbert, Daniel Berrangé) .PP virt\-v2v will now look for bootloader configuration in \&\fI/boot/grub/grub.cfg\fR for UEFI guests (Andrey Drobyshev). .PP Invoke pnputil (if available) to install drivers, fixing some Windows conversions (Andrey Drobyshev). .PP Skip SELinux relabelling if the guest has disabled SELinux (Roman Kagan). .PP Several output modes now generate metadata to indicate whether the guest requires the RTC to be set to UTC (Linux) or localtime (most Windows). For example with \fI\-o libvirt\fR this generates . (Thanks Lee Garrett, Laszlo Ersek) .PP \&\fI\-i ova\fR mode is now less strict about parsing the manifest file, which helps when converting some non-conforming OVA files. .PP Input modes using \fI\-it ssh\fR now use the correct quoting (thanks Bill Sanders, Laszlo Ersek). .PP \&\fI\-i vmx\fR mode now rejects VMDK files explicitly, reducing a source of user confusion (thanks Ming Xie). .PP Multiple fixes to \fI\-o kubevirt\fR mode. Also implement \fI\-oo compressed\fR for this mode. (Thanks Xiaodai Wang, Ming Xie) .PP \&\fI\-o libvirt\fR mode now supports Rocky Linux (thanks Ming Xie). .PP \&\fI\-o openstack\fR documentation for cloud configurations fixed (thanks Ming Xie). .PP \&\fI\-o rhv-upload\fR mode has an improved error when the \fI\-os\fR parameter is invalid or missing (thanks Junqin Zhou). .SS "Build changes" .IX Subsection "Build changes" Support for OCaml 5, and OCaml ≥ 4.07 is now the minimum (thanks Guillaume Munch-Maccagnoni, Jerry James, Josh Berdine, Jürgen Hötzel, Vincent Laviron). .PP Fix several tests so they can handle the case where the operating system does not support btrfs or NTFS, instead of failing (Laszlo Ersek). .PP Fix compatibility issues with libxml2 2.12. .SS Internals .IX Subsection "Internals" Fix an off-by-one error which caused very rare crashes in virt\-v2v. .SS "Bugs fixed" .IX Subsection "Bugs fixed" .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2182024 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2182024" improve UX when running as root and we can't chown v2v tmpdir or socks .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2175703 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2175703" virt\-v2v failed to inspect RHEL9.2 guest due to kernel-core / kernel-modules-core subpackage split .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2172075 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2172075" Modify virt\-v2v\-output\-openstack man page to add cloud.yaml related information .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2168506 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2168506" RFE: Virt\-v2v should recognize partition names like '/dev/mapper/rhel boot\-\-73\-\-75\-\-123\-root' in related keys option .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2168082 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2168082" win11/2022 failed to start into OS after converting to local libvirt via virt\-v2v on AMD EPYC-Milan CPU model host .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2166619 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2166619" kernel panic when booting into OS with rocky9 guest converted by v2v to local libvirt .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2166618 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2166618" There is virt\-v2v: warning: unknown guest operating system: linux rocky 9.1 x86_64 when convert rocky guests to local libvirt .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2162444 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2162444" Enable '\-\-oo compressed' for \-o kubevirt .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2162332 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2162332" \&\-o kubevirt mode must rename guest to comply with KubeVirt requirements: metadata.name: Invalid value: "esx8.0\-rhel8.8\-x86_64": a lowercase RFC 1123 subdomain must consist of lower case alphanumeric characters, '\-' or '.', and must start and end with an a .IP https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1986386 4 .IX Item "https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1986386" Improve error message when converting to rhv using the wrong data domain name which has a specific character .SH "SEE ALSO" .IX Header "SEE ALSO" \&\fBvirt\-v2v\fR\|(1). .SH AUTHORS .IX Header "AUTHORS" Authors of virt\-v2v 2.4: .IP "Andrey Drobyshev" 4 .IX Item "Andrey Drobyshev" .PD 0 .IP "Emilio Herrera" 4 .IX Item "Emilio Herrera" .IP grimst 4 .IX Item "grimst" .IP "HATAYAMA Daisuke" 4 .IX Item "HATAYAMA Daisuke" .IP "Jan Kuparinen" 4 .IX Item "Jan Kuparinen" .IP "Jürgen Hötzel" 4 .IX Item "Jürgen Hötzel" .IP "Laszlo Ersek" 4 .IX Item "Laszlo Ersek" .IP "Pavel Borecki" 4 .IX Item "Pavel Borecki" .IP "Piotr Drąg" 4 .IX Item "Piotr Drąg" .IP "Richard W.M.
