virt-v2v-release-notes - virt-v2v release notes for 2.10

=head1 説明

These are the release notes for S<B<virt-v2v 2.10>>.  This describes the major changes since 2.8.

Virt-v2v 2.10.0 was released on S<B<6th January 2026>>.

=head2 New features

In I<-o kubevirt> output mode, new I<-oo disk> and I<-oo create> options let you respectively override the output disk names, and avoid disk creation, letting you pre-create disks before running virt-v2v.

For VDDK sources:

=over 

=item *

A new I<-io vddk-compression> option lets you enable compression for data read over the network.

=item *

I<-io vddk-thumbprint> is now optional.  If omitted, virt-v2v will automatically work it out from the VMware server.

=back

New I<--memsize> and I<--smp> options which let you override the default amount of memory and number of vCPUs assigned to the appliance.  For certain complex guests it is occasionally necessary to adjust these, although usually virt-v2v should do the right thing automatically.

L<virt-v2v-inspector(1)> now detects Windows Antivirus and Group policy, and if found adds C<E<lt>windows_antivirus/E<gt>> and C<E<lt>windows_group_policy/E<gt>> elements respectively.

=head2 Features removed

The following virt-v2v options have been removed:

=over 4

=item I<-io vddk-noextents>

This was an undocumented troubleshooting option.  Any uses of it can simply be removed.

=item I<--sm*> options

The Red Hat Subscription Manager customization options did not work and have been removed (Cole Robinson).

=head2 Other fixes

When checking ext4 filesystems before conversion, replay the dirty log to avoid e2fsck failing (thanks Ming Xie).

When checking XFS filesystems before and after conversion, cap the amount of memory used by the L<xfs_repair(8)> utility (thanks Ming Xie, Eric Sandeen).

For output modes that write to local disk, in debugging output we now report the amount of space on the local (host) disk, in order to make it easier to debug certain out of space problems (thanks Martin Necas, Alex Kalenyuk).

Use L<nbdkit-count-filter(1)> (if installed).  In debugging mode this will print a summary of the number of bytes read, written, trimmed and zeroed when copying the guest, which can be useful when you want to know how much data was sent over the wire by virt-v2v.

For Windows virtio driver installation:

=over 4

=item *

Fix this when there is a pending Windows Update (Vadim Rozenfeld).

=item *

Fix this when Windows changes the timezone during firstboot (Vadim Rozenfeld).

=item *

Skip driver installation when a newer/better virtio driver is already installed (Vadim Rozenfeld).

=item *

Slightly modify how we patch the regsitry so that we don't break both Windows Update and C<pnputil /e> driver enumeration.

=back

Display the versions of libnbd and nbdcopy in debugging output.

Fix SELinux relabelling for guests which use a separate F</usr> partition (thanks Germano Veit Michel, Ming Xie).

We now attempt to generate correct boot order for Linux BIOS guests.  This is necessary with current SeaBIOS so that it initializes the correct boot disk, allowing the guest to boot if the bootloader is not on the first disk.

Name nbdkit subprocesses using the new I<--name> option in S<nbdkit E<ge> 1.46>.  This allows debugging and error messages from different nbdkit instances to be distinguished in log files.

A virtual floppy disk is no longer added to the output guest if qemu does not support it, even if the input guest has a floppy disk (Cole Robinson).

During conversion of Windows guests, if we have to create S<F<C:\Program Files\Guestfs>>, it is now created read-only for non-Administrator accounts (Cole Robinson).

For RHEL 7.2 conversions, ignore archived LVM VG configuration files, which previously caused a crash in Augeas during conversion (thanks Sean Haselden, Alasdair Kergon).

Handle .vmdk files in subdirectories on the ESXi server (thanks Ming Xie).

Fix UEFI conversions of Windows guests if F<C:\Windows\Temp> exists but has a different upper/lowercase from the directory that Windows normally creates.

=head2 Documentation

Refactored and improved documentation (thanks Ming Xie).

Link from L<virt-v2v(1)> directly to official VMware documentation for removing VMware Tools.

=head2 Build changes

libguestfs E<ge> 1.58 is required.

nbdkit E<ge> 1.46 is required.

Update C<make check-slow> ("slow tests") so we test more recent guest types.

We now test Windows UEFI conversions in the test suite.

C<./configure> output has been colourized.

New configure I<--disable-block-driver>, I<--disable-glance>, I<--disable-ovirt> and I<--disable-xen> options allowing you to disable those features at compile time.

Basic github CI has been implemented.  Pull requests now do the equivalent of C<./configure --enable-werror && make && make check> on a few common platforms.

=head2 内部

The internal podwrapper tool used to process the documentation now has a new I<--pp> to allow a preprocessor to be used.  In particular we now use L<m4(1)> to preprocess some documentation.

In F<Makefile.am>, C<$(NULL)> can be used as a list terminator.  This improves patch application.
