similar to: guestfs_list_partitions with vdi

Hello, Been a long time since I broke out your libguestfs tools. Current employer has some old machines they want to virtualize before they croak. I was able to virtualize a Win2000 box but when I tried the same with a Windows 95 machine the call to guestfs_list_partitions returned null. I did make that image with a different tool (my linux box wasn't available so I wound up using Macrium

I'm using qemu-nbd to setup the device with an offset into the image. Using libguestfs version 1.21.22 Code for adding the drive: char *server[] = { "localhost:3000", NULL }; if (guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, "" /* export name - see below */, GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw", GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL, "nbd",

The error message: hivex_close: do_hivex_close: you must call 'hivex-open' first to initialize the hivex handle This is the process flow: g = guestfs_create (); guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, diskFile,GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",-1); guestfs_launch (g) char **roots = guestfs_inspect_os (g); guestfs_inspect_os returns NULL, guestfs_last_error(g) returns

I used the "Advanced Options" of Macrium Reflect (on Windows 7) to do a raw byte copy. If it is, then yes I'd say the image is corrupted. However you'd > probably want to hexdump

Hello libvirt experts, I use libvirt (0.7.5-5ubuntu27.7) with KVM / qemu (0.12.3+noroms-0ubuntu9.2). Some machines use raw images but same use Virtualbox images (.vdi). Since last Ubuntu 10.04 LTS update I can not start the vdi-images. The "driver name= type=" option was new. <devices> <emulator>/usr/bin/kvm</emulator> <disk type='file'

The current test for .vdi files is incorrect. It tries to detect the string "<<< Sun xVM VirtualBox Disk Image >>>". However this string is just free text and .vdi files often contain different strings (ref: [1]). The correct test in this patch looks for the magic number at offset 0x40 in the file (ref: [2]). Example: Upstream 'file' without the patch on an

[stef204 sent me the full log since it contains sensitive information] The log says that virt-v2v cannot see anything at all on the 34.1 GB disk (as if the disk is blank). However I think the actual problem is that you've given the wrong disk type in the XML: <disk type='file' device='disk'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw'/>

hi I am having several pools of xcp with NFS shared storage as default SR on each pool and i want to do following in this arrangement -I want to share vdis among all pools, i.e. for example if I want to detach a vdi from a vm in pool-1 to a vm in pool-2. so is this possible to do so? vdi export is one of the solution but i want to do it seamlessly just like it happens within the same pool or

Hi, I am new to v2v/libguestfs. I need to convert a 30 GB virtual machine running Windows7 64 bit (a guest on a Linux system) from Virtualbox vdi format to qcow2 (or raw/img--another debate in itself) so I can use libvirt/qemu/kvm to run it and completely migrate away from Virtualbox. The vdi machine is a mission critical production environment and I cannot afford to mess it up, etc. Will keep

Hi, I have successfully built an ADDC on a Centos 6.5 VM running on Citrix XenServer 6.2. It seems to be working well. Now I want to test Citrix VDI-in-a-Box. I've installed vdiManager 5.4.0 on to my XenServer. It wants to authenticate to my AD server. It fails with the message: Could not connect to the user database at 10.0.1.10 with user administrator in domain test.lan I did a

running windows vista: downloaded virtual machine and virtual rails cannot get virtual rails to mount to virtual machine after downloading virtual rails i attempted to extract it so i could convert it to vdi file and this is the result virtual_rails_1.1(1).7z i followed the tutorial at http://www.virtualrails.org/node/3 to create a new virtual machine, but when I start the machine i get the

hi is it possible to export vdi just as we export vm if yes then how to export it using HTTP? thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi, sorry for asking too much,but is it possible to set the vdi size for a new VM before installation because it is 8G by default or do I have to resize it after installing the VM. Thanks & BRInas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I am unable to mount a vdi image with virt-df. I get this error in the libvirt log. 2012-06-24 02:37:22.484+0000: 2364: error : qemuMonitorIO:583 : internal error End of file from monitor I don't really know from this output what the problem is and some assistance would be appreciated. I'm attaching the output of the libguest test program. Brian

Hello guys, I''m working on a cloud computing project involving Xen Hypervisor. I looked for the issue described in the subject in old posts but no success. I''m using the local storage repository and I can''t set physical_utilisation and virtual_utilisation via xen API because XendVDI.py has hardcoded the 0 value for local repository while is passed for QcoW storage

Hello. We are moving some VMs on XCP 1.6 from an iSCSI Storage to another. One VM gave the following error: The attempt to mark the VDI as hidden failed But, all data has been moved to the new storage, the VM is working and at first sight seems ok. But can I trust it? Anyboday had similar errors? Thanks Thomas _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

Hi, I would like to backup my Virtual Box VM folder. I have VDI and VMDK files in there. I am told I have to shutdown those virtual machines first in order for rsync to copy them correctly. Is this correct ? Thanks, Dan
