I''m attempting to convert a CentOs 5.6 x64 machine from Xen (Open Source) to Citrix XenServer and I am having some trouble towards the final stages. I need to take the .XVA created by XVA.PY and use XenConvert to manipulate this into another file format (OVF). Here''s the process I use: 1. Poweroff the VM 2. Create a new disk in 3 times the size of the primary 3. Sign in to root and verify the new disk shows up via fdisk -l 4. Mount the new disk to a temp...

I''m trying to follow the guide to set up Lenny 5.0 VMs on my newly installed XCP machine. Following what the wiki suggests I downloaded the lenny.xva from http://www.xen.org/files/XenCloud/Software/lenny.xva, saving to domain zero. (note that this file was updated March 1, 2011) When I try to import lenny.xva to my Xen Cloud Platform host using the command: xe vm-import filename=lenny.xva I get the following output: The VM could not be imp...

I'm thinking on how to prove you a sample XVA I have to create (and populate) a VM because an empty image will result in an empty XVA And a VM is 300-400Mb as minimum Il 15 nov 2017 10:30 PM, "Max Reitz" <mreitz@redhat.com> ha scritto: > On 2017-11-15 21:41, Gandalf Corvotempesta wrote: > > 2017-11-15 21:29 GMT+01:00...

Which partition are you converting with this command ?

Here's my solution, as a nbdkit plugin written in Perl. As with Max's solution I don't bother to parse the virtual size out of the XML file, so you need to specify that on the command line otherwise the disk will be truncated to the largest extent stored in the file. Also the ‘.xva’ file must not be compressed. $ nbdkit perl script=./xva-reader.pl file=./debian8cloud.xva size=4294967296 $ guestfish --ro --format=raw -a nbd://localhost -i Welcome to guestfish, the guest filesystem shell for editing virtual machine filesystems and disk images.

Hi all, I need to get NetScaler running for a load balancing project. So I''m trying to convert the xva to an image for use with Xen. I have done the following; downloaded xenmigrate.py downloaded and untarred the xva image from Citrix ran the following: python xenmigrate.py --convert=Ref\:214/ ns.img xenmigrate says that it has completed successfully however I can''t mount the resulting...

...just add support to qemu-img alone either.

I know, but that doesn't work. qemu-img convert uses the normal general-purpose block drivers for that. Max
