Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting string comparison operators, what are they?? Post 98929 by ballazrus on Monday 13th of February 2006 04:31:06 AM

i'mnot using it with vmware at the moment, but i'm using SPARC, i think it's based on unix, hence why it keeps interpreting the > and < as redirect. however the double brackets arent working either. i found another forum where a user had posted his code which looks just like the one with the double brackets and he's having the same problem.

i will have to test both codes tomorrow on my school's vmware.

vmware2libvirt

VMWARE2LIBVIRT:(1)					  System Administration Utilities					VMWARE2LIBVIRT:(1)

NAME

       vmware2libvirt - vmware vmx to libvirt xml converter

SYNOPSIS

       vmware2libvirt [-q] -f FILE

DESCRIPTION

       This program outputs a libvirt xml file based on an existing vmware vmx file

OPTIONS

       --version
	      show program's version number and exit

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -q, --qemu
	      use qemu instead of kvm

       -f FILE, --file=FILE
	      vmware vmx file to convert

USAGE

       To start using a pre-existing vmware image with libvirt, you simply copy the vmware .vmx file and .vmdk file to a new directory. Then do:

	 vmware2libvirt -f ./file.vmx > file.xml
	 virsh -c qemu:///system define file.xml

       At this point, your vmware image should be available to libvirt.

CAVEATS

       vmware2libvirt currently will use the first scsi disk if found, otherwise the first ide disk. It will also use the first ethernet interface
       found.

SEE ALSO

	virsh(1), kvm(1), qemu(1)
