similar to: P2V Windows XP: image not booting

Hello, I converted a W2003-Server to a vmdk-image, I didn't think too much back then ... Now I have 2 windows-drives C: and E: inside one vmdk-image-file, which was converted to qcow2. I have installed drivers and stuff into that VM already and would like to avoid to start over again with the vmdk-file -> Is there a way to split that one qcow2 into 2 separate files, one for each

(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. --Alex On Mon, Jun 10, 2013 at

How can I add an image file type to the list of image types that libguestfs supports? I see raw, qcow2, vmdk, ect. I would like to add support for a new type. Where should I begin? -Kai Meyer

Hi Bas, I'm not sure if this is of interest, but I also had issues with VM disk-image sparse-files (in my case KVM, rather than VMWare), which I've now resolved. http://www.finalcog.com/rsync-vm-sparse-inplace-kvm-vmware All the best, Chris Dew.

Hi everyone, 1. I try to boot a raw image with hda under Xen hypervisor converted by VMWARE vmdk image with scsi, but fail to boot with error message “Error loading operating system” below”. Who can give me a favor? 2. Under vSphere, create a windows XP VM with scsi storage then install a windows XP to the SCSI storage called xp.vmdk in the VM via iso file. Can successfully

If you accidentally point -i vmx at a disk image, it will try to load the whole thing into memory and crash. Catch this narrow case and print an error. However don't fail if ‘file’ is not installed or if we don't know what the file is. --- v2v/parse_vmx.ml | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/v2v/parse_vmx.ml b/v2v/parse_vmx.ml index 65d5a0edd..f6c34e2cf

Very recent versions of tar (most probably as a consequence of CVE-2016-6321) may refuse archive members with '..', like the relative paths to upper level directories. Since these are just tests, simply copy the files in the temporary directories where tar (or zip as well) is run, so all the files are in the same directory. --- v2v/test-v2v-i-ova-formats.sh | 9 +++++----

Hi list, I have recently migrated to XCP from Vmware Server 2 and have run into issues importing the VM''s Following citrix''s guide I tried using XenCenter to do the import directly on the vmdk files this resulted in XenCenter logging this error: "Failed to import. ---> System.Exception: Failed to import virtual disk file. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element

With VMWare (server), you can pre-allocate your image in several vmdk files. But I have not bee able to mount that in guestfs. On file (e.g. guest.vmdk) is a text file pointing to all the other files (e.g. guest-f001.vmdk, guest-f002.vmdk,...). I tried the following scenarios without success: 1- just adding the base vmdk: add_drive guest.vmdk 2- adding all the files: add_drive guest-f001.vmdk

Thanks a ton for the reply Matthias. I am little confused here. How to add volume on my esx server using virsh? I did SCP and copied my vmdk image to [datastore1] testNode/cluster.vmdk and also modified my xml file as you suggested. Now when I tried starting the node it gave me an error message saying: "error: Failed to start testNode error: internal error: Could not start domain:

Hi, I am using rsync for my customers to have disaster recovery off-site with files from a VMware Server (under Linux). All works very well, but when I defragment the VM's (once a week) or Exchange defragments it's datastore the disk layout changes offcourse and sometimes a lot. What do I do: - I am making a local copy with vmware-vdiskmanager to an USB disk in the split

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

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
