NAME¶

Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::Windows - Pre-convert a Windows guest to run on KVM

SYNOPSIS¶

 use Sys::VirtConvert::Converter;
 Sys::VirtConvert::Converter->convert($g, $root, $config, $meta, $options);

DESCRIPTION¶

Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::Windows does the "pre-conversion" steps required to get a Windows guest to boot on KVM. Unlike the associated Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::Linux(3) module, this doesn't do a full conversion of Windows. Instead it just installs the viostor (Windows virtio block) driver, so that the Windows guest will be able to boot on the target. A "RunOnce" script is also added to the VM which does all the rest of the conversion the first time the Windows VM is booted on KVM.

METHODS¶

Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::Windows->can_handle(g, root)

Return 1 if Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::Windows can convert the given guest.

Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::Windows->convert(g, root, config, meta, options)

(Pre-)convert a Windows guest. Assume that can_handle has previously returned 1.
