Re: libguestfs support snapshot based virutal disk analysis?
I've used QEMU to read .vmdk snapshots. The VM directory layout in my case
(Fusion, and I've seen Workstation do the same) created a .vmdk file per
snapshot, and qemu-img could use that .vmdk file and the base .vmdk to
convert the disk image to a raw image. IIRC there is a manifest file that
ties .vmdk files to the snapshot they represent.
So, from my experience, qemu does read disk

FLAG DAY: vdiskadm import/export/convert
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

FLAG DAY: vdiskadm translate
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

driver type for .vdi images?
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.

feature request: exclude from path
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?

Re: libguestfs support snapshot based virutal disk analysis?
(Sorry, Rich, I managed to miss reply-all.)
These VMDK files are difference files from a baseline VMDK file.
I'm not familiar with ESX's storage, but the size indicators on these tell
me they aren't raw. For a virtual disk that has 3.2GB of data in its
current state, against 3.0GB of data in its baseline, the current state's
.vmdk file is 200MB.

copying live vmdk / vdi files
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,

virsh error: driver is not whitelisted
Hi,
I'm using virsh to instance a VM in my environment, but I'm running on

Both Xen and VirtualBox On the Same Physical Host?
Hi all,
I have a Sun x2200 named Adra running OpenSolaris 2008.11 set up as a Dom0 per Levon''s instructions on this site. It hosts some production services and has been running nice and stable for a number of months now (with NetWare DomUs running GroupWise, believe it or not). The machine is pretty nicely speced out and there''s room for more virtualisation, so I was

[PATCH] lib: create: Allow any [[:alnum:]]+ string as a backingfmt parameter.
If you use the libguestfs tools which open disk images read-only
(eg. virt-df), with formats such as 'vdi', then you will see an error:
error: invalid value for backingformat parameter 'vdi'
This is because opening a disk image read-only will try to create a
qcow2 file with the original image as a backing file. However the
list of permitted backing formats was very restrictive

blktap, vmdk, vdi, and disk management support
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

Vdi-image
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?

Driver domains communication protocol proposal
During some discussions and handwaving, including discussions with
some experts on the Xenserver/XCP storage architecture, we came up
with what we think might be a plausible proposal for an architecture
for communication between toolstack and driver domain, for storage at
least.
I offered to write it up. The abstract proposal is as I understand
the consensus from our conversation. The concrete

Import vmware vmdk into xVM (osol-2009.06)
Good afternoon,
I was wondering if anyone has any in site as to how to import a VMware vmdk into xVM on OpenSolaris 2009.06 (xVM 3.1). I have a VMware VM created on VMware Server 2.0 and would like to move it over to this xVM server.
I appreciate any advice anyone may have.
Cheers,

Using Solaris iSCSI target in VirtualBox iSCSI Initiator
Hello,
I?m using ZFS to export some iscsi targets for the virtual box iscsi
initiator.
It works ok if I try to install the guest OS manually.
However, I?d like to be able to import my already prepared guest os vdi
images into the iscsi devices but I can?t figure out how to do it.
Each time I tried, I cannot boot.
It only works if I save the manually installed guest os and re-instate the

Errors attaching VBDs to dom0 VM
Hi,
I''ve been touring XCP and making my way around it for the last few
days, and am having problems with some reasonably straightforward
actions. I''ve poured a several hours into different ways of resolving
the issue, but am coming up short.
Here''s the main issue. The following command (plugging in a VBD to
the dom0 VM), when, run, hangs for several minutes, and then

Re: Virtualbox vdi Input Format and man pages
[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:

[file PATCH] Properly detect .vdi (VirtualBox disk image) files
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
