             Summary: CloudStack GSoC 2023 - Extend Import-Export Instances to 
the KVM Hypervisor
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-10456
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-10456
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: New Feature
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
            Reporter: Nicolás Vázquez


Github issue: [https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/7127]

 

Description:

The Import-Export functionality is only allowed for the Vmware hypervisor. The 
functionality is developed within a VM ingestion framework that allows the 
extension to other hypervisors. The Import-Export functionality consists on few 
APIs and the UI to interact with them:
 * listUnmanagedInstances: Lists unmanaged virtual machines (not existing in 
CloudStack but existing on the hypervisor side)
 * importUnmanagedInstance: Import an unmanaged VM into CloudStack (this 
implies populating the database with the corresponding data)
 * unmanageVirtualMachine: Make CloudStack forget a VM but do not remove it on 
the hypervisor side

The complexity on KVM should be parsing the existing XML domains into different 
resources and map them in CloudStack to populate the database correctly.
