similar to: Open xen support for .vhd files

Hi, I have a imported VM image in .raw format. I used "qemu-img convert" to convert the .raw image to a .vhd image. I changed the config file accordingly and I tried to start the VM. I am unable to bootup and I get the message that the "booting from hard disk failed" and no bootable device found. The image is not corrupt as .raw image seems to come up fine. Any suggestions on

Hi all, I had met with a question about vhd format when i install xen 4.2.0 source code on suse11_x86_64_sp2. execute steps: 1)Install fully suse 11 sp2 to host pc 2)Boot from Xen kernel menu 3)Download xen 4.2.0 source code from http://xen.org/download/index_4.2.0.html 4)Download bin86-0.16.19.tar.gz cmake-2.8.9.tar.gz Dev86src-0.16.19.tar.gz gettext-0.18.1.1.tar.gz

Is there a way to convert a Virtual PC vhd file to a raw img file for Xen without using XenServer ? I found a v2v utility from Starwind that converts to an .img format, but I don''t know if it is the same as the format that Xen uses. I ran the conversion and tried it under Xen, but could not get the console to come up, and had to destroy the domu to get that domain to shut down. I expect

I was wondering if someone can shed some light on why vhd files created with qemu-img don''t really work right with vhd-util and consequentially blktap in general. To validate the incompatiblity its simple enough to do qemu-img create -f vpc test.vhd 40g vhd-util snapshot -n child.vhd -p test.vhd Which will show the below and then the headers don''t display the BATMAP summary:

Hi there, I''m running several VMs within Xen, and now I''m trying to create/revert snapshots of my VMs. Along with Xen and blktap2, another utility, vhd-util is also delivered, and according to its description, i guess I can use it to create/revert VM snapshots. To create a snapshot is actually easy, I just call |vhd-util snapshot -n aSnapShot.vhd -p theVMtoBackup.vhd | But

Add ''-C'' (nocow) option to vhd-util create. Btrfs has terrible performance when hosting VM images, even more when the guest in those VM are also using btrfs as file system. One way to mitigate this bad performance is to turn off COW attributes on VM files (since having copy on write for this kind of data is not useful). According to ''chattr'' manpage, NOCOW

We had a XCP 1.5 pool with 2 machines as hosts. The storage pool which as NFS mounted lost its ability to export the filesystem with the VM images on it. We contacted the vendor and we were able to restore it. However, they had recommended that we delete the XCP Pool, recreate it, add the hosts back in, and then mount the storage. That is where we are at now. We can see the storage and

Thanks a lot. I was trying to copy on local disk and guestfs_download () solved my problem. Now I am trying to modify source code of guestfs_download () to extract file in memory.
