[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1798434] Re: [Feature Request] Automatic device configuration discovery

[Thomas Huth]

Right, and since QEMU also only supports a limited set of devices, there
is no chance that you can mirror an arbitrary host this way. But if you
want to convert a host into a VM and do not care whether each and every
detail can be mirrored, have a look at http://libguestfs.org/virt-
p2v.1.html - that's likely the best solution so far.

Title:
  [Feature Request] Automatic device configuration discovery

Status in QEMU:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Would it be possible to have a script that enumerates the device tree
  of a Linux host and generates a qemu command line that would recreate
  it under emulation? The user would have to customize the arguments
  (for instance to point to disk image files), but it would take a lot
  of the guesswork out.

  Similarly, there could be information that can be gleaned from the
  kernel build config that would help with configuration.
