@agrare

personally I'd like to just return the storage.url instead of all that crap

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

@agrare it appears with V2V and is grabbed by https://github.com/ManageIQ/manageiq/blob/master/app/models/service_template_transformation_plan_task.rb#L308 when building the URL for SSH transport method. It's what QE get in their lab (shutdown at the moment) when calling source.location. And source is a VMwrae VM.

@agrare was trying to create a uri template using addressable, but i cannot get around the guid being misinterpreted as a port

Adam Grare

@agrare

What are you trying to use that for? Local path on the host or something?

We'd need access to that environment to see what is going on

What version is that VC and those esxi hosts

Daniel Berger

@djberg96

was just trying to generalize the various filesystem uri's

e.g. Addressable::Template.new("{fs}://{dir}{/subdir}/{guid}")

Adam Grare

@agrare

I don't think that's generally applicable

There are so many different formats

Daniel Berger

@djberg96

right it would have to be more flexible, but maybe it's not the right approach

Adam Grare

@agrare

Yeah that's why I'm trying to understand how you want to use it

Daniel Berger

@djberg96

just trying to get rid of those explicit regexen, trying to make it friendlier

Adam Grare

@agrare

If you're trying to build something just for information we can do that

In the VMware refresh parser or in v2v?

Daniel Berger

@djberg96

vmware

(though perhaps v2v could use such a thing somewhere down the road)

Adam Grare

@agrare

What are you trying to use it for in v2v?

Daniel Berger

@djberg96

i don't have anything in mind atm, just tinkering

anyway, didn't mean to derail you

Adam Grare

@agrare

Okay let's not change the VMware parser without a good reason

It's gross but it handles a lot of different VMware VC and host versions

If you just want a way to identify the vm try using the uid_ems or ems_ref

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

@agrare yes, that's what it's been used for since 5.9.4 :) Basically, the URI for SSH is in the form of ssh://root@10.0.0.1/vmfs/volumes/my_datastore/my_vm/my_vm.vmx. We could of course check if the source.location starts with file:// and get the end of the path only. But, I'd like to understand if that's something coming from VMware or ManageIQ.

Adam Grare

@agrare

Okay but you're not actually expecting to use that URI?

That is the URL from VMware

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

Well, we're using the ssh:// URL. More precisely, virt-v2v consumes it to stream the disks. So, if VMware is sending weird data, we need to sanitize it. Should it be sanitized by inventory refresher or by V2V ?

Adam Grare

@agrare

Can we set up a meeting to discuss? And we'll need the source environment available

I'm still not sure how the vm location helps you with the disks since the disks aren't guaranteed to be in the same dir as the vm

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

Sure. When would you be available ?

Adam Grare

@agrare

My only scheduled meeting is 3-3:30 est

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

I'll be AFK at that time. Tomorrow ?

Adam Grare

@agrare

I mean I'm free anytime except then

But tomorrow works too

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

Then, https://bluejeans.com/6982858042

Adam Grare

@agrare

This is going over I'll join when it is done

And you have the source VMware env up?

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

Nope. The source environment is down at the moment. And in our lab, no VM has this kind of location... You want to wait for the source environment to be up ?

Adam Grare

@agrare

Yes

I need to look at the vm that is showing that

Fabien Dupont

@fdupont-redhat

Ok, so I'll ping you once it's up.

vmware/rbvmomi#158 - looking for thumbs :)

Adam Grare

@agrare

I was just looking at that, wow that's a lot of trailing whitespace

Daniel Berger

@djberg96

got my vim editor configured to strip that automatically, tends to happen with 3rd party libs

@matrixbot

neovalis Does anyone have time to help us with a VMWare problem?

neovalis It's explained here perfectly https://communities.vmware.com/thread/608272

Jason Frey

@Fryguy

@matrixbot Is this a ManageIQ problem? If not, I'm not sure what we could do

@AndreyMenezes

Hi guys, I'm performing smart analysis for VMWare using VDDK connecting to VCenter normally, but I identify only one VM that not working. This VM is FreeBSD, unique VM with this SO in my environment and has a NAS. From log:

ERROR -- : Q-task_id([cc4cc998-675f-11e9-be92-00505680abe6]) MIQ(VmScan#process_abort) job aborting, Unable to mount filesystem.  Reason:[No root filesystem found.]

@AndreyMenezes its not clear to me that Smartstate supports FreeBSD. By the way you should probably move this over to the smart-state room.
