similar to: Create Virtualbox image from running system?

Hello List, I''m using blktap on XCP 1.1 and developing a difference copy program for easy backup and remote archival. The idea is to read the BAT of VHD1 and sync it to BAT of VHD2 with BITMAP and the data blocks. Other way would be by adding a sha1 signature in each data block and comparing it with remote VHD. I tried to get some info from below programs but could not get required

Hi all, I`m evaluating methods for nightly "snapshot" a physical win2003 to xcp vm. I know it would be a lot easier and reliable just to to one convert one time and start to generate real vm snapshots, but at this time I cannot use this method. I tested the sequence: disk2vdh -> xenconvert (to xcp), but a big deal of using this method is that xenconvert does not send

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

I appologize for not posting that I gave this approach up already. The issue was that I wanted to run virtual pc because I knew it would handle .vhd files. I'm testing out virtualbox at the moment. I need everthing to run from a flash drive on a bare metal machine for emergency disaster recovery situations. I was merely exploring all avenues that I found and wine was one of those avenues.

I have written a patch (please see attached) which fixes both of these bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1092583 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1232477 By default, when saving a URI using xmlSaveUri it escapes everything in the URI.

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

I created a NFS VHD SR(\nfs\xxxx-yyyy-zzzz-wwww) on host “A” and created set of disks(vhds). I de-attached the SR from “A” and attached to host “B”. Host B seeing all the disks. Its working up to that fine. But I again de-attached the SR and attached to host A, it shows no disks in that SR. While reattaching to host “A” it shows the SR existing but after attached nothing comes. If I create

Guys, I'm trying to compile the Xen 4.0.0 via debian/rules makefile but I got this: administrativo at sid01:~/xen/xen-4/xen-4.0.0$ make -f debian/rules build-tools ..... make -C lib all make[7]: Entering directory `/home/administrativo/xen/xen-4/xen-4.0.0/debian/build/build-tools/tools/blktap2/vhd/lib' make[7]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[7]: Leaving directory

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:

are there programs similar to Virtual PC that wine can run?

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

I have try to resize one vhd file with vhd-util, i did some test... For example i have try: vhd-util resize -n /mnt/vm/disks/ring-12.disk1.vhd -s 6000 but output always: options: <-n name> <-j journal> <-s size (in MB)> [-h help] I not understand what i wrong, someone can help me please? -- View this message in context:

Hi all, I am getting this annoying "SR_BACKEND_FAILURE_40", have any of you seen some error like this before? I found a post here: http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/283705-internal-error-when-scanning-sr/ But, following those steps did not work out to me. I am using XCP 1.6 over, hen hypervisor 4.1.1 on Ubuntu 12.10. And as the management tool, I am using Cloudstack 4.1.1. The error

Hi, I''m currently trying xen 4.1.1 with the 3.0.0-rc5 (heard that it now contains the xen code to run as front or back xen domain). Everything seems to run fine, except that I am trying since a few hours to mount a .vhd file in the dom0. What I tried so far: to create a blank vhd file (this is working): host# vhd-util create -n /storage/test.vhd -s 20G Then i try to mount the file

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
