### Description This PR adds the capability in CloudStack to convert VMware Instances disk(s) to KVM using virt-v2v and import them as CloudStack instances. It enables CloudStack operators to import VMware instances from vSphere into a KVM cluster managed by CloudStack. vSphere/VMware setup might be managed by CloudStack or be a standalone setup. - CloudStack will let the administrator select a VM from an existing VMware vCenter in the CloudStack environment or external vCenter requesting vCenter IP, Datacenter name and credentials. - The migrated VM will be imported as a KVM instance - The migration is done through virt-v2v: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473, https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/virt-v2v-integration.html - The migration process timeout can be set by the setting `convert.instance.process.timeout` - Before attempting the virt-v2v migration, CloudStack will create a clone of the source VM on VMware. The clone VM will be removed after the registration process finishes. - CloudStack will delegate the migration action to a KVM host and the host will attempt to migrate the VM invoking virt-v2v. In case the guest OS is not supported then CloudStack will handle the error operation as a failure - The migration process using virt-v2v may not be a fast process - CloudStack will not perform any check about the guest OS compatibility for the virt-v2v library as indicated on: https://access.redhat.com/articles/1351473. ### Types of changes - [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change) - [x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality) - [ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue) - [ ] Enhancement (improves an existing feature and functionality) - [ ] Cleanup (Code refactoring and cleanup, that may add test cases) ### Feature/Enhancement Scale or Bug Severity #### Feature/Enhancement Scale - [x] Major - [ ] Minor #### Bug Severity - [ ] BLOCKER - [ ] Critical - [ ] Major - [ ] Minor - [ ] Trivial ### Screenshots (if appropriate): ### How Has This Been Tested? - Create a VMware CloudStack environment - Create single disk and multidisk VMs on CloudStack, start and stop them. - Create another KVM CloudStack environment - import VMs from Vmware to KVM - Deploy VMs -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
