similar to: copying live vmdk / vdi files

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'

Just a quick fyi... We''ve recently added support for blktap along with support for managing virtual disks (disk file images). There are some difference from a linux dom0. This is available in b101 @ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/sol_ex_dvd_1/ This allows you to create and manage vmdk and vdi (Virtual Box) disk files. By default, virt-install will now use a vmdk vdisk when

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

I'm using a Windows raw disk image that is "converted" to the VDI format by custom code that prepends a header to the image. I use 'vdi' for GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT of guestfs_add_drive_opts(). After launching the appliance, the call to guestfs_list_partitions() results in an empty list. Is there a way to add the drive but have an offset into the image file as a

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 dear all: I have browsed almost all architecture of libGuestFs and use it on Fedora 18. It really seems greate! However, 1. No virtual disk (*.vdi, *.vmdk...) based snashot analysis code Current LibGuestFs could recognize and virtual disk format (e.g. *.VDI) and the file syste inside it (e.g. NTFS ), but find no support for snapshot virtual disk. Virtual Machine such VirtualBox

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.

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

If i will use a virtualbox image with xen Must ionly convert it to raw and copy the hole image to a lvm or harddisk Or are it more advanced? _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm translate to the 3.3 vdisk repo. You can now translate data from one virtual disk data type to another without creating a virtual disk. This allows the user to use a vmdk file and directly translate the data into a zvol without having to import it first to a vdisk and then export it to the zvol. # vdiskadm help translate translate - translate virtual disk data

I''ve just pushed vdiskadm import/export/convert to the 3.3 vdisk and vbox repos. You can now import a disk image from a block device or file to a vdisk, convert (in place) to a different type of vdisk and export from a vdisk to a block device or file. I''ve also pushed the full vhd support (sparse and fixed) and the ability to import a vmdk 1.1 optimized stream file. An

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

So I've gotten excluding paths to work as a standalone command. When I paste this into a script however, it ignores the exclusions. Any advice? rsync -aXvr --times --links --exclude={'*.vdi','*.vmdk','*.ova','*.qcow2','.config/discord/'} /home/path/ user at nas:/NAS/HOME/destination/ Are there supposed to be some kind of brackets around this?

Dear All, While trying to run kvm VM using vmdk disk on 6.4 , I got into the following error, error: Failed to create domain from vmdkvm.xml error: internal error process exited while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -drive file=/mnt/vmdkTOKVM/vmdkTOKVM.vmdk,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-0,format=vmdk,cache=none: 'vmdk' invalid format upon further digging I came across this thread (

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
