For Linux the guest itself remembers the IP address associated with
each MAC address. Thus it doesn't matter if the interface type
changes (ie. to virtio-net), because as long as we preserve the MAC
address the guest will use the same IP address or the same DHCP
configuration.
However on Windows this association is not maintained by MAC address.
In fact the MAC address isn't saved anywhere in the guest registry.
(It seems instead this is likely done through PCI device type and
address which we don't record at the moment and is almost impossible
to preserve.) When a guest which doesn't use DHCP is migrated, the
guest sees the brand new virtio-net devices and doesn't know what to
do with them, and meanwhile the right static IPs are still associated
with the old and now-defunct interfaces in the registry.
We cannot collect the required information from within the guest.
However we can collect it outside the tool by some other means
(eg. using VMware Tools APIs) and present this information to virt-v2v
which then writes it into the Windows guest at firstboot time.
This commit adds the --mac ..:ip:.. sub-option which creates a
Powershell script to set network adapters at firstboot. An option
such as:
--mac 00:0c:29:e6:3d:9d:ip:192.168.0.89,192.168.0.1,24,192.168.0.254
approximately turns into this script:
# Wait for the netkvm (virtio-net) driver to become active.
$adapters = @()
While (-Not $adapters) {
Start-Sleep -Seconds 5
$adapters = Get-NetAdapter -Physical |
Where DriverFileName -eq "netkvm.sys"
}
$mac_address = '00-0c-29-e6-3d-9d'
$ifindex = (Get-NetAdapter -Physical |
Where MacAddress -eq $mac_address).ifIndex
if ($ifindex) {
New-NetIPAddress -InterfaceIndex $ifindex
-IPAddress '192.168.0.89'
-DefaultGateway '192.168.0.1'
-PrefixLength 24
Set-DnsClientServerAddress -InterfaceIndex $ifindex
-ServerAddresses ('192.168.0.254')
}
Thanks: Brett Thurber for diagnosing the problem and suggesting paths
towards a fix.
