VMware and multiple vmdk files
...g to all the other files (e.g. guest-f001.vmdk, guest-f002.vmdk,...). I tried the following scenarios without success: 1- just adding the base vmdk: add_drive guest.vmdk 2- adding all the files: add_drive guest-f001.vmdk add_drive guest-f002.vmdk ... It works if I merge all the files with vmware-vdiskmanager (something like: vmware-vdiskmanager -r guest.vmdk -t 0 guest-new.vmdk) Can I use guestfs without merging all the files in one image? Thanks, Thierry

Increasing existing partition and LVM size
...en grow the logical volume(s) and the file systems on it. BTW, this is all on a VMware virtual disk, so I really can't screw things up, as I have a copy of the VMDK files and can start over again (and again, and again...). The disk was originally 8GB, and I just resized it with vmware-vdiskmanager. I have tried to use parted to resize the partition, but I get the message "Error: Could not detect file system.", and I can't find a way to resize the partition with fdisk and sfdisk. Am I missing something obvious or is this not doable? Thanks, Alfred

Is it possible to make rsync VMware split .vmdk's aware?
...recovery off-site with files from a VMware Server (under Linux). All works very well, but when I defragment the VM's (once a week) or Exchange defragments it's datastore the disk layout changes offcourse and sometimes a lot. What do I do: - I am making a local copy with vmware-vdiskmanager to an USB disk in the split "thin-disk" format of the vmdk's - Then I start rsync to our datacenter to replicate the split "thin-disk" vmdk's What happens: Sometimes, because of the defragment within the VM or Exchange, the disk layout changes so much th...

NT4 in a DomU
Hi, I use Xen 3.0.3-1 on a Debian Etch with LVM to store my DomUs. I already exploit a Windows 2000 in a DomU but I can''t install a windows NT4 Server: I have a death of Blue Screen during the installation begining. Did someone test that scary NT4 DomU with success? I think NT4 need a disk driver but wich one? and how can I give it one? My last solution to test is: to convert a NT4

Migrating from VMWare Workstation
Dear virt list I have some virtual machines running on my notebook under VMWare 6.5.2 64 bit that I would like to move to a current 64 bit CentOS 5.3 machine with a current Intel Xeon processor. The virtual machines do use the GUI, e.g. they are not text only. Is it better to use VMware server or Xen? If using Xen, do I have to convert the images? Regards, Peter -- Dott. Peter

Inspecting VMware OVFs
Hi, Maybe this is just a newbie question. I am trying to inspect VMware images with guestfish. I am running Fedora 15 in a VSphere VM. Once Fedora is installed I do: yum update yum install '*guestf*' Then I run guesfish on a copy of a Fedora 15 disk. guestfish -rw -I -a Fedora15-2-disk1.vmdk with the following result: libguestfs: error: unexpected end of file
